Voices From the Distant Past
New discoveries today!
Tools belonging to ancient man have been found!
Our ancestors left traces
for us to ponder
Stone implements
which they used to survive
Today we have advanced
but there is a kinship
between us and those ancients
Their blood flows in us
and we feel pain, sorrow and joy
much as they did
Today we live longer
and have conquered
the seas and are headed
towards the stars
The debt we owe them
is tremendous
So let us see what
there remnants tell us
about their lives
and the meaning they have
for our destiny
