Ian Parry - Collide-o-scope (when Past And Present Collide) lyrics

Spoken part Les journ?es de conflit font enfin partie du pa**?. Le d?bat a remplac? la n?cessit? de prendre les armes. Il y a une multitude d'exemples, de mani?res o? le pa**? se heurte au pr?sent - ce sont des sujets de conversation ou de discussions philosophiques. On base les r?ponses sur la compr?hension mutuelle et non sur l'ignorance. [Intro:] It's time to look ahead, or the past and present will collide 'cos what the future brings, is happiness for all mankind [Verse] Conflict and pain Are historical emotions, now laid to rest The ways of the past collide With the present now, are topics for Philosophical discussion [Bridge] Alone in exile, and in conflict with itself The Monomale searches A constant fight to come too terms In a collide-o-scope, of morals past and present [Verse] Old familiar ways, an' habits never die They're hard to change You can't teach an old dog new tricks It's best to let it go, on it's way To roam across the world alone [Bridge] In this new order Now a prison is a place, of great historic value A place where children play and learn In this society, the Neofems created [Chorus] Now it's a time for learning Gone are the ways of old Right now is the time for sharing The knowledge learnt by all Don't let the gra** keep growing Don't sit and watch the water flow Don't live in the past forever Look to the future there's a sign of hope [Middle-8:] Let yourself, just drift away To where, a new place is born A place, where children learn and play We are as one, life and all
