In the beginning
There was the cold and the night
Prophets and angels
Gave us the fire and the light
Man was triumphant
Armed with the faith and the will
Even the darkest ages couldn't kill
Too many kingdoms
Too many flags on the field
So many battles
So many wounds to be healed
Time is relentless
Only true love perseveres
It's been a long time and now I'm with you
After two thousand years
Sometimes I wonder
Why are we so blind to fate?
Without compassion
There can be no end to hate
No end to sorrow
Caused by the same endless fears
Why can't we learn from all we've been through
After two thousand years?
And in the evening
After the fire and the light
One thing is certain:
Nothing can hold back the night
Time is relentless
And as the past disappears
We're on the verge of all things new
We are two thousand years...
~ Billy Joel, "Two Thousand Years" |
