Listen Hard

The past can speak louder than the present For with attention focused, we can hear Listen hard, look for the lesson Then move forward, without fear. We must learn from our fathers before us As they lived to speak even through the tomb Listen hard, look for the lesson To pass it on, to the new, in the womb. It is not the intention to just live and die We must share our experiences, findings with all Listen hard, look for the lesson Help your children to stand and not fall. It is with reason, we all need to focus On the many mistakes made in the past Listen hard, look for the lesson For today will be yesterday, time moves too fast.
