Lord, help us do well

All that we have to do

Feet on the ground, heads in the clouds

Live a life that's free and easy

Pall and good

Show us the trend



There came a time, "No more," we said



"To leave it in their hands divine."

Show us the trend



Set out sails, burnt our boats

Independence ruled the day

While pleasure stole the night



Epochs past, lives were spent

Until a new band came

Did not intend to spend

Cease from your haste, they said



Leave time to repeat

Your aims, they are misplaced

You don't have to race, they cried



Oh Lord, help us do

All we have to do



"With negligent regret,

THe world sped on."
