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 бн
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
