The Flame
Embracing Legacy: Crafting Tomorrow's World
Lyrics
The hands of science weaving future for us all
The progress of science shapes the future for everyone.
The threads of generations held within their thrall
Generations are influenced and controlled by the ongoing developments.
There's no direction, repercussion for decay
There are no clear guidelines or consequences for the decline or deterioration.
With this great tapestry the threads begin to fray
The interconnected fabric of society begins to unravel.
Through centuries of dedication with their hands up to the sky
Centuries of dedication with hands reaching towards progress.
The fate of their imagination holding lives inside their eyes
The destiny of human creativity reflects in their eyes, holding the essence of life.
I know I'll never see what lies along the road
The speaker acknowledges the uncertainty of the future.
I'll never know what will become of seeds we've sown
Uncertainty about the outcomes of efforts and contributions.
All we can do is just prepare them for their time
Preparing the next generation for their responsibilities and challenges.
To build a better world when all these birds have flown
The goal is to construct a better world after the current generation has moved on.
And so we dedicate our lives to serve a future cause
Dedicating life to a cause that serves the future.
We save and slave away just trying not to fall
Working tirelessly to avoid failure and setbacks.
We lay foundations for our children then to build upon
Establishing foundations for future generations to build upon.
A lasting aspiration that our tower will stand tall
An enduring aspiration for a legacy that stands tall.
What will we become? Our daughters and sons?
Reflecting on the unknown future of the speaker's descendants.
We pass them the flame, will they remember your name?
Passing on the metaphorical "flame" of knowledge and legacy to the next generation, questioning if they will be remembered.
I know I'll never see what lies along the road
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the future.
I'll never know what will become of seeds we've sown
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding the outcomes of efforts and contributions.
All we can do is just prepare them for their time
Emphasizing the importance of preparing the next generation.
To build a better world when all these birds have flown
The hope is to build a superior world once the current generation has passed.
I know I'll never see what lies along the road
Repetition of the acknowledgment of an uncertain future.
I'll never know what will become of seeds we've sown
Repetition of uncertainty regarding the outcomes of efforts and contributions.
All we can do is just prepare them for their time
Reiteration of the importance of preparing the next generation.
To build a better world when all these birds have flown
Reiteration of the hope to build a better world in the future.
