As I
Was taught to lead
I was fed well

On what had come before
Everyone
Who had ever lived

Left a lesson
Regarding what's in store


They
Were just like you and me
Guessing their $$#es off

Oh yes, they tried to guess well

It's our turn now

I hope we're forgiven
Chalk it up to knowledge and change
And life itself


And as I
Shall learn to follow

I'll feed the leaders
With everything I can
They'll

Bring revolutions
That try as I may
I just won't understand


They
Will be just like you and me

Pretending they're not guessing
As if we couldn't tell


It'll be their turn then
I hope we can forgive them
Chalk it up to knowledge and change

And life itself

It seems a cycle that we all seem to share

The passing from hand to hand of our pride and despair
Both parent and child cry apathy but everybody cares
And then we vanish in thin air

And only time is there
Time and a legacy...


History holds questions for everyone
A story that's only just begun
Blind past the !@#$ horizon

Sees more than father less than son
Life and death merely pretending
We're part of the infinite ending


We
Are gonna teach and learn

We're gonna get fed well
And then we shall feed
We

We are ancient
We are brand spanking new


We shall follow and lead

Cause we


Are simply you and me
In proving our traditions

On the brink of heaven and hell

We each get a turn

And then we're forgiven
And we call it knowledge and change
And life itself

And we call it knowledge and change
And life itself
And we call it knowledge and change


And life...
