One, then another, with a story of yesterday’s lives Or of a lover who had gone in a Moment of strife. No thought of sleep ever dwells upon The wise man’s mind Some task or audience stealing every Moment of his time. Thus we have learned to live While mortal men stand waiting to die How can we do what must be done in Just one short life. And if you ask, then you must know. If you still doubt, you should be told. It was not we that made it so. It was by those who went before. And there you sit, tomorrow’s child So full of love, so full of life But you must rise to meet the day Lest you become another tale. And there you sit, tomorrow’s child So full of love, so full of life But you must rise to meet the day Lest you become another tale. Another tale Another tale Another tale Another tale ==================================================================== Photo credits from the beginning of the video: Spirograph Nebula, NASA/ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team STScI/AURA. ==================================================================== If you like the music, then please support the musicians and buy the song.
