do you remember when we stood under the apple blossoms in the spring back when life was sweet and simple and all the birds did sing oh oh oh now the days are shorter and all this talk of war makes for a heavy heart well i say hold on keep your eyes on that horizon maybe we ll see a new day rising if you keep a little hope alive and one light shining we re all trying to drive our flags in carve our names into the wall we all know there a higher road where someone s brave enought to fall and you say these jokers own the game look how they have us tamed look at the mess we ve made well i say hold on keep your eyes on that horizon maybe we ll see a new day rising if you keep a little hope alive and one light shining and i ll be standing by your side i ll be trying to change your mind until i see your one light shining cause i believe it s in the rhythm of skies and seas the hearts of mountains and roots of trees in the earth we walk upon well i say hold on keep your eyes on that horizon maybe we ll see a new day rising if you keep a little hope alive and one light shining keep your eyes on that horizon maybe we ll see a new day rising if you keep a little hope alive and one light shining keep your light shining
