Lives of great men all remind us we may make our lives sublime And so departing leave behind us Footprints in the sands of time And with the writing I will show you Looking in the days beyond recall As I lecture back with the spirits of the other time
I'm living in the future I'm looking in the future I'm living in the future
Not a sound was heard No call came from the bird Only the carpet of green From towering trees was seen Where have they all gone? Why was there no song?
