before the beginning and after the end
future generations are out of our hands
in the broad daylight or in the black of night
you gotta let it be known
and do whatever feels right
well it was the wild west then
but then is still everything
and everything is still nothing
if it don't add up to something
and we take it for granted until it's taken away
well it's in our true nature
i thought i heard you say
you can find it in the afterglow
it's all right there in the light
will future generations ever understand
