[Verse 1]
[Am]Seen from the height
Of [F]a thousand [Am]miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day

[Verse 2]
But we can't find the things we need
[D]Young man said the [C]old man
Let [G]the youth in your heart be at [Am]rest
We may [D]all be dead
In a [C]year or a day
When the [G]devil is put to

[Verse 3]
[Am]The day of creation
Was our [F]finest hour
It's [Em]something we ought to de[Am]fend
But it's been so abused
Since the [F]first day of light
That no [Em]glory can come in the en[Am]d

[Verse 4]
[D]Young man cried the [C]old man
There is [G]victory in staying [Am]alive
And if [D]you care so little
For [C]the world we're in
Why and [G]what do you
Want to sur[Am]vive

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Can't we try
To let [Dm]the past go by
With it's [C]lessons firmly
Settled in our [Bm]minds
To [Am]our children one by one
And be[D]fore the darkness comes
Let us [G]leave a world full of [C]light
Of a different kind
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
In truth they should meet
And with [Am]love
Their hearts should beat
And with [D]pa tience
Solve [B]the problems of our [Em]time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only [Am]up to me and you
Let us [D]not bequeath
[B]A life that is a crime

[Verse 7]
[D]Young man cried the [C]old man
Let the [G]youth in your heart be at [Am]rest
