From The Monkey To The Man

New days and new minds have led us from the monkey to the man and only time will tell if the choices that we have made will fair our children well for their future lives. The world can change depending on our minds, for better or worse, all is up to us.

Monkey To Man

From the monkey to the man
Time has grown up a plan
More than we can seek or find
Yet we try to stay behind
Desperate for our own world

In the open space I can see disgrace
Has love gone out of fashion
The one thing we were told
We ignore with all our passion
Start up with haste, we waste

Move on and don’t mind me
Its not your fault you can’t see
One day might it just come
You ignore the bigger plan
More fool than fiend

In the open space I can see disgrace
Has love gone out of fashion
The one thing we were told
We ignore with all our passion
Start up with haste, we waste

So time may it be told
In futures beyond our control
The days when we gave up on this
You are so hit and miss
Take your life and fish

Our past is a long way ahead
If we cannot see this mess
Now is the time to change
To take pity on the child
Who lives with our judgement
Can we forsake their mortal fear

In the open space I can see disgrace
Has love gone out of fashion
The one thing we were told
We ignore with all our passion
Start up with haste, we waste

Take note the child’s face
As with noise we hail
The egg is on our face
For them we have all failed
Start up with haste, we waste
