Lyrics

In my own lifetime
I want to see the fighting cease
In my own lifetime
I want to see my sons enjoy the fruits of peace
While I'm still here I want to know
Beyond a doubt
That no one can lock us in
Or lock us out
We have climbed higher
Much higher than I thought we'd climb
It's a long journey
And even though the end's in sight
There's not much time
I want to know we haven't built on sand
In my own lifetime
In my own lifetime
I want to see our efforts blessed
In my own lifetime
I want to see the walls come down
And then I'll rest
This Moses wants to see the Promised Land
In my own lifetime
Written by: Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, Sherman Yellen
