A Year or a Day — текст песни (Uriah Heep)

Seen from the height

Of a thousand miles

The earth looks the same as it did

How is it we can fly faster than day

But we cant find the things we need



Young man said 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



The day of creation

Was our finest hour

Its something we ought to defend

But its 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 were in

Why and what do you

Want to survive



Cant we try

To let the past go by

With its lessons firmly

Settled in our minds

To our children one by one

And before the darkness comes

Let us leave a world full of light

Of a different kind



In truth they should meet

And with love

Their hearts should beat

And with patience

Solve the problems of our time

It wouldnt be so hard to do

Its only up to me and you

Let us not bequeath

A life that is a crime



Young 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



Young man ...
