(Hensley)
|
Seen from a 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
|
Test, test, 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 its 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
|
|
Seen from a 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 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 whoa
|
|
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 whoa
|
|
Young man, young man
|
