Letra de 'And The Youth Shall See Visions' de Debbie Friedman

Childhood was for fantasies,
for nursery rhymes and toys.
The world was much too busy
To understand small girls and boys.

As I grew up, I came
to learn that life was not a game,
That heroes were just people
That we called another name.

And the old shall your dreams,
And the youth shall see visions,
And our hopes shall
rise up to the sky.
We must live for today;
we must build for tomorrow.
Give us time, give us strength,
Give us life.

Now I'm grown, the years have passed,
I've come to understand:
There are choices to be made
And my life's at my command.

I cannot have a future
'til I embrace my past.
I promise to pursue the challenge,
Time is going fast.

And the old shall your dreams,
And the youth shall see visions,
And our hopes shall
rise up to the sky.
We must live for today;
we must build for tomorrow.
Give us time, give us strength,
Give us life.

Today's the day I take my stand,
The future's mine to hold.
Commitments that I make today are dreams from days of old.
I have to make the way for generations come and go.
I'll have to teach them what I've learned so they will come to know.

And the old shall your dreams,
And the youth shall see visions,
And our hopes shall
rise up to the sky.
We must live for today;
we must build for tomorrow.
Give us time, give us strength,
Give us life.
