The twentieth century
fades into memory
The wars, the holocausts, the roaring twenties,
the Depression, and the 60's are becoming
the stuff of legend
The years continue to roll on
Bolshevism in retreat now
Will there be a better day soon?
Make up your mind powers that be!
the masses are hoping
for sweet relief
The story of the 1900's is done
Perhaps there are brighter days ahead
We must learn to live on hope!
