Urchins and ragamuffins, see how they play
Run through the ruins where the land mines lay
When will this nightmare cease? when will we find a lasting peace?

Maybe in a million years maybe in a million years
Maybe in a million years maybe in a million years
Maybe in a million years we will overcome our fears
We’ll have shed a billion tears

Satellite dishes sweeping the sky
Searching for answers patiently awaiting their reply
When will salvation come? when will all suffering be done?

Maybe in a million years maybe in a million years
Maybe in a million years maybe in a million years
Maybe in a million years we will overcome our fears
We’ll have shed a billion tears

Mountains and valleys, rivers and seas
Eons go by as they change by gradual degrees
If earth can evolve into something new, maybe there’s hope for mankind too

Maybe in a million years maybe in a million years
Maybe in a million years maybe in a million years
Maybe in a million years we will overcome our fears
We’ll have shed a billion tears
