So uderstand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up! Make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
