Billy Joel Two Thousand Years Lyrics

Two Thousand Years Lyrics

In the beginning

There was the cold and the night

Prophets and angels
gave us the fire and the light

Man was triumphant

Armed with the faith
and the will

THat even the darkest ages couldn't kill



Too many
kingdoms

Too many flags on the field

So many battles, so many wounds to
be healed

Time is relentless

Only true love perseveres

It's been a
long time and now I'm with you

After two thousand years



This is
our moment

Here at the crossroads of time

We hope our children carry
our dreams down the line

They are the vintage

What kind of life will
they live?

Is this a curse or a blessing that we give?



Sometimes I
wonder

Why are we so blind to fate?

Without compassion, there can be no
end to hate

No end to sorrow

Caused by the same endless fears

Why
can't we learn from all we've been through

After two thousand
years?



There will be miracles

After the last war is
won

Science and poetry rule in the new world to come

Prophets and
angels

Gave us the power to see

What an amazing future there will
be



And in the evening

After the fire and the light

One thing
is cretain: Nothing can hold back the light

Timme is relentless

And as
the past disappears

We're on the verge of all things new

We are two
thousand years
