A Year or a Day
Seen from a height of a thousand milesthe Earth looks the same as it did.How is it we can fly faster than daybut we can't find the things we need ?
Young man said the old manLet the youth in your heart be at restWe may all be dead in a year or a dayWhen the devil is put to the testTest, test, TEST!
The day of creation was our finest hourit's something we ought to defendBut it's been so abused since the first day of lightthat no glory can come in the end
Young man cried the old manThere is victory in staying aliveAnd if you care so little for the world we're inWhy and what do you want to survive
Can't we try to let the past go by,with its lessons firmly settled in our mindsTo our children one by oneand before the darkness comeslet us leave a world full of light of a different kind
In truth they should meetand with love their hearts should beatAnd with patience solve the problems of our timeIt wouldn't be so hard to do,it's only up to me and youLet us not bequeath a life that is a crime
