A Year Or A Day |
Seen from the height |
Of a thousand miles |
The earth looks the same as it did |
How is it we can fly faster than day |
But we can’t find the things we need |
Young man said the old man |
Let the youth in your heart be at rest |
We may all be dead |
In a year or a day |
When the devil is put to the test ¡ |
The day of creation |
Was our finest hour |
It’s something we ought to defend |
But it’s been so abused |
Since the first day of light |
That no glory can come in the end |
Young man cried the old man |
There is victory in staying alive |
And if you care so little |
For the world we’re in |
Why and what do you |
Want to survive |
Can’t we try |
To let the past go by |
With it’s lessons firmly |
Settled in our minds |
To our children one by one |
And before the darkness comes |
Let us leave a world full of light |
Of a different kind |
In truth they should meet |
And with love |
Their hearts should beat |
And with patience |
Solve the problems of our time |
It wouldn’t be so hard to do |
It’s only up to me and you |
Let us not bequeath |
A life that is a crime |
Young man cried the old man |
Let the youth in your heart be at rest |
We may all be dead |
In a year or a day |
When the devil is put to the test |
Young man … |
