There was a time

There was a time

There was a time when men were great

When I was in a sensible state

When man would walk and talk so well

People would ask not always tell

There was a time when we lost it all

When man sat upon the impoverished wall

When starvation held an awful grasp

And held the world in a stop start clasp

There was a time when few thought big

Where women were merely the dump of the stig

There was a thought of another day

There was a time where man gave way

There was a time for a scripted life

Where people fought in battles of strife

There was a time of much change

There was a time of the deranged

There was a time where we were free

Where there was a place for you and me

There was a time long ago

There was a time that we don't know...
