“He who cannot draw upon three thousand years
Is living from hand to mouth”
If there is wisdom let’s hope to find it here
Come to know
All thoughts advance era to era
And so if you wish to understand modern process
Look behind and witness conception
Now stand on the shoulders of history’s tallest thinkers
See that their height is borrowed from predecessors
And even the worst ideas can spur better conceptions
Pushing humankind along an evolutionary rite of passage
Take a look and come to know
All thoughts advance era to era
And so if you wish to understand modern process
Look behind and witness conception
And progress
We’ll be tomorrow’s heritage
The giants of advancing thought
But if only we respect the statuesque preceding
Let’s be tomorrow’s heritage
The giants of advancing thought
Let us respect the work of the statuesque preceding
