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
Am
Can't we tryTo let the
A#
past go byWith it's
C
lessons firmlySettled in our

mindsTo our
Dm
children one by oneAnd be
G
fore the darkness comesLet us
C
leave a world full of F
lightOf a different
Dm
kindAm
In truth they should meetAnd with
Dm
loveTheir hearts should beat
And with
G
patienceSolve the
E
problems of our Am
timeIt 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
Dm
Seen from the height of a thousand milesThe
C
earth looks the same as it Dm
didDm
How is it we can fly faster than dayBut we
C
can't find the things weDm
needYoung 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
