Christie - For All Mankind lyrics

My childhood wasn't what you might call a success I was born in northern England in a time of strife and stress The war was over and somebody said we'd won But I was too young to know all the damage that was done Now looking back, there are things that I recall I was frightened of the dark when I was small They said it's over now at last Think of the future not the past And we will try, To build a new and better life Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind Yes we will strive, Now until the end of time For the sake of you and I And all mankind Sometimes I think of all the prizes we have won But we are no richer now than before when we had none I look around and I see ashes everywhere Yet the madness still goes on, Doesn't anybody care Though, on reflection, there are words that I still hear Could it be that someone somewhere is sincere No matter what the price may be We must believe in sanity And we will try, To build a new and better life Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind Yes we will strive, Now until the end of time For the sake of you and I And all mankind
