    Story Behind the Song
    By the end of the nineties it didn't seem like we had come very far since the 60's. I just wonder what happened to all that idealism.

    Lyrics
    I guess my eyes were not wide open
    Or I'd have surely seen
    All those lofty thoughts we'd spoken
    Were no more than a dream
    It is written in the pages of history
    Every cruelty has it's day
    I guess we hoped that by the end of the century
    This would all have passed away

    We struggled on all through the seasons
    Searching for the words to say
    That all our hopes and all our reasons
    Had somehow slipped away
    It is written in the pages of you and me
    All our troubles have an end
    If we could look beyond the way it used to be
    It could be that way again
    And all of this will pass away

    No my spirit's not been broken
    For I can still believe
    All those dreams of which we'd spoken
    Can someday come to be
    It is written in the pages of humanity
    Every cruelty has it's end
    When we learn to face the things that cannot be
    It could go that way again
    All of this will pass away
