Was the world so very old when your life had just begun

Oh Grand father tell me is it true you worked the land

And the tools that you used you made with your own hands

Chorus:

Before time was only money and machines made man a slave

Was the world all milk and honey before all the streets were paved

Grandson I’ll tell you truly how it was when I was young

The world was full of wonder in my first days under the sun

Before time was only money and machines made man a slave

The world was milk and honey before all the streets were paved

(Change keys)

Now Grandson remember in the days that are to come

One thing I will tell you before my life on earth is done

Don’t let time be only money, don’t let machines make you a slave

And taste all the milk and honey before all the streets are paved

Chorus:

Yeah there’s more to time than money

There’s more to treasure than to save

Now taste the milk and honey

Before all the streets are paved.
