D5 
Seen from the height 
     A#5 
Of a thousand miles 
    A5                          D5 
The earth looks the same as it did 
D5                   A#5 
How is it we can fly faster than day 
       A5                       D5 
But we can't find the things we need 


G5                  F5 
Young man said the old man 
        C5                         D5 
Let the youth in your heart be at rest 
       G5 
We may all be dead 
     F5 
In a year or a day 
         C5                   D5   C5 A#5 D5 
When the devil is put to the test 


D5 C5 A#5 D5 
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 


A5 
Can't we try 
           A#5 
To let the past go by 
          C5 
With it's lessons firmly 
              E5 
Settled in our minds 
       D5 
To our children one by one 
      G5 
And before the darkness comes 
       C5                     F5 
Let us leave a world full of light 
               D5 
Of a different kind 


A5 
In truth they should meet 
         D5 
And with love 

Their hearts should beat 
         G5 
And with patience 
          E5               A5 
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 


D5 
Seen from the height of a thousand miles 
    G5                          D5 
The earth looks the same as it did

How is it we can fly faster than day 
       G5                       D5

Young man cried the old man 
Let the youth in your heart be at rest 
We may all be dead

When the devil is put to the test
