	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
