listen to The Prologue The Prologue

listen to The Poet The Poet

The tree is dying
Her leaves are golden
Her branches sigh for rest

The eagle's flying
His wings are golden
His time to leave the nest

The earth is sighing
Her lands are golden
Another season blessed


listen to The Rock Musician The Rock Musician

High upon a mountain
See a vision that will last
Planning for our children
Build on lessons from the past

They are our future
They're here today
Pass on your wisdom
Show them the way

Water for the sapling
Gives the summer to the bud
Give yourself a reason
Love and cherish your new blood

They are our future
They're here today
The truth is dawning
Give it room to stay

We will reap the harvest
In the age that lies ahead
We can make a day dream
A reality instead

They are our future
What should we do?
Our world survival
Depends on you

Lead them on their journey
Cut a path that's safe and free
Light shall conquer darkness
Fire a flame for all to see

They are our future
What more to say?
They are our future
We are their today
listen to The Children The Children

High upon a mountain
See a vision that will last
Planning for your children
Build on lessons from the past

We are your future
We're here today
Pass on your wisdom
Show us the way

Water for the sapling
Gives the summer to the bud
Give yourself a reason
Love and cherish your new blood

We are your future
We're here today
The truth is dawning
Give it room to stay

You will reap the harvest
In the age that lies ahead
You can make a day dream
A reality instead

We are your future
What should we do?
Our world survival
Depends on you

Lead us on our journey
Cut a path that's safe and free
Light shall conquer darkness
Fire a flame for all to see

We are your future
What more to say?
We are your future
You are our today
