A Year or a Day lyrics

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
