The Modern Age Lyrics

All the past

Is swept away

You and I

Are here today

The modern age

Is here to stay

All the world

Comes out to play

It's not happening yet

But it's surely on the way

It might just happen

Hopes are so far unmet

But we must still have our say

They might just listen

This is not where progress ends

It's just beginning

Don't you love those trends

It shows we're winning

We can dream if we care

And we'll shine on everywhere

Right in their faces

Fearful times

Have faded fast

You and I

As one at last

The modern age

Is here to stay

There's no catch

Or price to pay

Here's a troubling thought

As the drum beat pounds away

It never stops and

They won't do what they ought

But the noise will end one day

It might just drop but

There won't be some perfect place

Unless we fake it

Just a friendly space

OK, I'll take it

We can build if we dare

And we'll shine on everywhere

Right in their faces

Memories may

Hurt for now

But you and I

Will cope somehow

The modern age

Is here to stay

Truth and laughter

Light the way

All the past

Is swept away

You and I

Live here today

The modern age

Is here to stay

And all the world

Comes out to play

At last
