[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, light percussion] [Verse 1] [male vocals, intimate] The years keep turning one by one The old world fades away I've watched the broken seasons run And waited for the day The walls we built will fall like sand The hurts of time will cease And somewhere far beyond our lives A better world will breathe [Chorus] [full band enters, driving drums, distorted guitar] When the new world comes and the years are gone Will there be love in every heartbeat? When the old ways fade and a new life dawns Will every soul be kind and honest? Hearts beyond our time [vocal ad-libs: oh-oh-oh] Hearts beyond our time I wish we'd know [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar, bass, and light synth pads] Your hand in mine, we watch the years Go gently away Perhaps the world will lose its fears And find a better way The children born in years to come Will carry kinder hearts They'll see the beauty we believed But never saw ourselves [Chorus] [full band, high energy] When the new world comes and the years are gone Will there be love in every heartbeat? When the old ways fade and a new life dawns Will every soul be kind and honest? Hearts beyond our time [vocal ad-libs: oh-oh-oh] Hearts beyond our time I wish we'd know [Bridge] [orchestral strings, building drums] And if the years carry us from tomorrow If we never see that day I will hold on to the dream we dreamed of As our footsteps fade away Let the future take what we could not give it Let tomorrow find its way There will be beautiful life after us And they'll make the world their own [Chorus] [climax, belted vocals, heavy guitars] When the new world comes [vocal ad-libs: oh-oh-oh] When the old world fades Hearts beyond our time We won't be there Hearts beyond our time But they will remain [Outro] [acoustic guitar, fading strings] Hearts beyond our time Hearts beyond our time MUSIC (+) LYRICS (+)
