The Modern Age
Lyrics:
All the past
Is swept away
You and I
Are here today
The modern age
Is here to stay
All the world
Comes out to play
It’s not happening yet
But it’s surely on the way
It might just happen
Hopes are so far unmet
But we must still have our say
They might just listen
This is not where progress ends
It’s just beginning
Don’t you love those trends
It shows we’re winning
We can dream if we care
And we’ll shine on everywhere
Right in their faces
Fearful times
Have faded fast
You and I
As one at last
The modern age
Is here to stay
There’s no catch
Or price to pay
Here’s a troubling thought
As the drum beat pounds away
It never stops and
They won’t do what they ought
But the noise will end one day
It might just drop but
There won’t be some perfect place
Unless we fake it
Just a friendly space
OK, I’ll take it
We can build if we dare
And we’ll shine on everywhere
Right in their faces
Memories may
Hurt for now
But you and I
Will cope somehow
The modern age
Is here to stay
Truth and laughter
Light the way
All the past
Is swept away
You and I
Live here today
The modern age
Is here to stay
And all the world
Comes out to play
At last
