Young, Neil - Children Of Destiny Lyrics

I love Neil Young but this song is god awful

Thanks, Neil.

Awesome!

This is an awesome video. Rock on Neil❤✌

the more and more you listen too and learn about the man. you find how lucky we are to witness him.

Ok Neil boring. Maybe you might get a commercial. Where have all the controversial hippies gone. Mason must of took them all to hell with him. And left a bunch of pussies behind.

The ones that don't like this song, ya know the ones with all the negative comments, are the ones "droppin' the bombs in the rain!"

LyrIcs
Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of you and me
Should goodness ever lose and evil steal the day
Should happy sing the blues and peaceful fade away
What would you do?
What would you say?
How would you act on that new day?
Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the ways of democracy
So the children can be free
The children of destiny
When money matters most and war is good for gain
The capital is yours, the people feel the pain
They feel the pain, they walk the streets
While the bombs fall in the rain
The children hide, somewhere inside
While the bombs fall in the rain
Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of destiny

Children of Destiny lyrics © Storytone Publishing

If you really knew God, birth control would just come naturally.

So this is a protest for piece- a piece of my own pie or if you can't say its mine at least give God credit where it is due- and pass around the hat here for the messenger. I've been yelling and screaming now for many years about God being a psychopath who fastens all the triggers for others to fire, and sits back and watches as the flames get higher- but I don't seem to be able to dial out on the phone here. Do you have any idea who cut all the lines out Neil? Why would they do that?

Thank you Neil, Thank you for all of it.

Sad that a bunch of fascist Trump lovers think a song about compassion, responsibility, and hope is so horrible. Admittedly its not one of Neil's better offerings, but I truly don't understand the shortsighted Rich Murica fuck everyone else attitude of so many in my country. We don't live in a world where we can wall ourselves off and do our own thing anymore, and thats not a bad thing. We are made stronger by unity, diversity, and looking forward, and weaker by white supremacy, hatred, and other conservative nonsense. How fucked does the world have to get before people figure out that Conservative ideology benefits no one but the super rich?

Neil Young is about humanity

Neil Young & Promise of The Real ~ THANKYOU! ~ Lennie Bug ( A Southern IL. country girl FAN!!! )

holy shit this is tremendous

Wake America up

Another song like that could do it

Come on Neil you can save the day get rid of New World Order

peace peace peace

This song is dreadful IMO by Neil's standards, but the rest of the album is worth checking out if you're an NY fan.

Revolt is in the air.

Real Fitting song Today .Thank You

Great march and the changes remind me of Buffalo Springfield Expecting to Fly.. We still keep trying to learn to fly, so much to do.. Whatever we do affects those seven generations afterwards

Stand up for what you believe
Resist the 'powers that be'
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of you and me

Should 'goodness' ever lose and 'evil' steal the day
Should 'happy' sing the blues and 'peaceful' fade away
What would you do?
What would you say?
How would you act on that new day?

Stand up for what you believe
Resist the 'powers that be'
Preserve the ways of democracy
So the children can be free
The children of destiny

When money matters most and war is good for gain
The capital is yours, the people feel the pain
They feel the pain, they walk the streets
While the bombs fall in the rain
The children hide, somewhere inside
While the bombs fall in the rain

Stand up for what you believe
Resist the 'powers that be'
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of destiny

always inspiring, destined to be on a list of under-appreciated masterpieces combining the irony of war and negativity contrasted with hopeful optimism

A tired, over-contrived awful song with an out of touch sentiment to what is happening across the western world.

Seen Mr. Young with Crosby, Stills, and Nash live, and again with Stephen Stills. Unforgettable.

My FAVorite song and video of 2017 !

God bless Neil Young ! Homage to a True Rock Legend that always stands up for what’s right ! Another positive shout out to The Promise Of The Real ! Long May You Run Brothers ☮️🍄

AAN KINDEREN VAN HET LOT JA IK STA VOOR MIJN LOT IN EIGEN HANDEN TE NEMEN
IK BEN VOLWASSEN GENOEG IK HEB GEEN MOEDER IK BEN VAN MOEDER AARDEN EN HET UNIVERSUM DAAR BLIJF IK BIJ IK BLIJF GELOVEN IN VRIENDSCHAP EN DE VREUGDE DIE HIER UIT VOOR KOMEND VOOR DE VREDE WOUTER JOHN HEN MAY MEI BLOEM

Awesome! But about half the country will not appreciate it

Merci Neil ! Tu es un génial poète , magnifique passeur de vérité , ta musique est comme le sel de la vie.

Great Job

All those who criticize are the same ignorant people who believed that Springsteen's "Born in the USA" was a "patriotic" song

Belíssima! Greetings here from Brazil.

So the powers that shouldn't be paid for 3K down votes so we all don't resist them? THEY HAVE LOST ALREADY! The masses are woke! Trump/Hillary/Bush/Clinton..ALL THE SAME!!

Wonderful!!!

I hate flags full of blood. Millions of innocent peoples blood.From Denmark with love!!!

"Either die a hero or live enough to become the villain", Neil Young has lived so long enough (and I hope he lives more), and he still a hero

what a shit

You are a big influence for us! Keep on rockin'

Traitor

I like this song!

Excellent stuff as always Niel. Yes I wish more people in this apathy filled willfully ignorantt country would stand up against our sociopathic government and corporatocracy. The mother frackers are about to frack the first well in Kirby Misperton in The beautiful Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire 30 miles south of Stockton where I was Born. A sacrifice ,guinea pig zone. The protectors are there but more are needed if we're to stop the Frackers. I am hoping to get up there soon myself. This Conservative government just got back in and bribed the DUP with a billion pounds to gain a majority in parliament. The police state is emerging out of the right wing propaganda machine. The Conservatives are the only party who condone Fracking and fast tracked it under Camerons watch. The police are facilitating the oil and gas companies, Third energy in this case. England is densely populated and our geology would not cope with this industry, Some of the 3% who are not conditioned are on the legal case, hopefully justice will prevail and we can get democracy back on course, time is running out but we shall overcome. No fear,

Loved his old songs. Can't tell if he is being left or right. Maybe his point. Hope he is right.

Albert Einstein Quotes. Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

thank you junior Matos, we love our country,and we also love you. I wish all
countries loved each other.

Neil your a beautiful soul , love you

THIS IS THE END MY FRIEND BECAUSE ALL PEOPLE WANT TO BE A STAR .

This is highly offensive, and youtube should censor it.

that lad will last forever

Nice tune! I still can not get over "Lotta Love" you did for N. Larson!

its growing on me

at least you are here to comment. Don't be Denied

Ironic?

#NONUKES #ENDFOSSILFUELS #MniWiconi Water is Life Invest/Divest Now to Renewable Clean Energy ..Infrastructure will be The New Clean Economy.. Love 4 Mother Earth and Life here.. #PrayersUp

I hate the visuals. They show, particularly around the 2:30 mark, what a fucking plague we are.

Simply Beautiful, Thank You Neil, Love You!!!

Please add the lyrics (as subtitles) to these beautiful videos so those of us with hearing problems can "hear" what Neil is saying!

THNKS GOD FOR MADE YOU NEIL !!!

Was taken aback by the horns a little, but the most important thing is that Neil is still doing his own thing in 2017, whether we like it or not. You've got to respect that.

Kinda glad i don't have any, earth is likely to have an unfortunate and inescapable outcome. Sure glad my span started a long time ago in the good old analog days, i've only got about ten years left if i live my fathers span. But who knows, maybe our corporation/ pharmaceutical rulers will catch on, that they can't drink or eat money.

needs about 5 more layers and the lyrics try way to hard to be deep.

Yo wtf this one kid went to every hate comment and said this is for my freedom or some shit like that lmao 😂

I love Trump's America.

Thanx for a new powerful song and all the others you made all the years ago! And go on your way in good health and creativity.

This is just awful...release archives 2 already.

Canada?

long live Neil

Where did my comment go? I had about 300 likes on that one...is the channel getting manipulated or did someone official just remove my comment??

LOVE THIS!! LONG MAY YOU RUN NEIL ! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked him in the 70s and 80s.

Resist ANTIFA the real fascists.

I'm being manipulated but its ok

WTF happened to Neal Young ?? Lol

Like all great songs... this just gets better and better

говно

I'm with the side of "great cause... not a great song"  from my point of view.   Neil doesn't produce chart topping hits with every song.... nor should he... music is such a personal "thing"  doesn't crank my motor.

jew boy

Well I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Lots of over-qualified critics here ...

Sounds like Morrissey in mortal combat with a red state high school marching band , a muddle of unlistenable bullshit from start to finish. Better to burn out and retire, dude.

money ha water and food is  for  the flash  just as money .  The spirit need's  Wisdom.

Merci Monsieur Neil Young
Bonne route pour les enfants du destin
Rockin' in the free world
José from Earth

Nice lyrics, and I am feeling the tune, Neil!

Great song, still like TRUMPO

you milleninial pieces of puke ..... your our fucking future!!!!!, listen to the lyrics you fucking brain dead zombies it's about enslavement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. AMERICA!

so glad NY did not take up acting

i think i have gottit now. 64 wot do eye no

Neil Young + Promise of the Real - Children of Destiny -- Neil Young is truly a man who has many screws loose between his ears ! Yes indeed today's children are laying the groundwork for civilization as it will be in the near future ! The Human Race is going to have to drown in all the Evil that is being brought about ! Neil Young is absolutely crazy in thinking that the real world as well as a true Heart of Gold can be found in the knowledge revealed in this world ! In fact it is 'Southern Man" that represents the real world and it is the "Good Book" that truly shows the way of the Good ! The Christian Bible is a truly Transcendental book and it is only through the experience found in Heaven that one can come into the knowledge of Reality ! The lighting of the Southern Cross is the Light of God and Confederacy ! Best Wishes -- Joseph Stefurak

this is embarrassingly awful. rip neil young

it's alright now Neil, we've learned our lesson well, if you can't please everyone you've got to please yourself.

Love Neil Young, but hate the patriotic imagery here.

NEIL IS CANADIAN??!???!? COME ON!

Get back with crazy horse

If you think Neil has sold out I suggest you View NEIL YOUNG: DON'T BE DENIED (Fantastic Documentary with Buffalo, CSNY and Crazy Horse)

Always been a man that stood for what he think is right. I think this is a great video .
