Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can’t make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation (the last generation)
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear ’til nothing else remains
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome
Looking for something
We can rely on
There’s got to be something better out there
Love and compassion
Their day is coming (coming)
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear ’til nothing else remains
All the children say
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome
So what do we do with our lives?
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a light
Or end in the dark?
Is it all or nothing?
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome
All the children say
We don’t need another hero (we don’t need another hero)
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome
