THERE WAS A TIME

NO DEMO

    
I REMEMBER A TIME, WHEN MEN WERE FREE,
THEY WALKED TOGEATHER HAND IN HAND, 
IN PEACE AND HARMONY.
WHEN ALL MEN THEY WERE BROTHERS,
AND NO ONE WAS UNKIND.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
THERE WAS A TIME.

I REMEMBER A TIME, WHEN THE SKY WAS BLUE.
WHEN LIVING THINGS WERE SACRED,
AND ALL THE EARTH WAS NEW.
A TIME BEFORE THE RIVERS DIED,
AND WATER FLOWED LIKE WINE,
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
THERE WAS A TIME.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN NO ONE STARVED,
AND NO ONE DIED IN WAR.
THE LAND BELONGED TO EVERYONE,
AND NO ONE WANTED MORE.
I'M SURE I CAN REMEMBER,
IT'S NOT A DREAM OF MINE.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
THERE WAS A TIME.

THERE'LL COME A TIME, I HOPE I SEE.
WHEN MEN WON'T HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR,
I KNOW IT HAS TO BE.
WHEN THE RACE IS WON BY EVERYONE,
AND NO ONE'S LEFT BEHIND.
DON'T TAKE IT FROM ME,
THERE'LL COME A TIME.
