about

Life is a series of todays, and history a series of lives. Everything we can do now was supported and influenced by what other people did in the past: technology, art, even emotion, have all been developed to this point by a long line of experiences that help to make you who you are. So this song is really about acknowledging that and realizing all that you have inherited. Standing on the shoulders of giants.

lyrics

All that passes is not unmade
You are the ripples of memories laid
Long ago right up till today
More than you know –
the way has been paved

Human touch is what we need
To be enriched by each one that you meet
Long ago or earlier today
More than you’ll know –
the way has been paved

We’re a part of more than we see
Reflecting everything from our history
Long ago was once a new today
To hearts unknown
who paved the way
More than you’ll ever know
the way has been paved
(for you…)
