CENTURIES
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

LOVE SAID GOODBYE
SAILED ON OCEANS HIGH
A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY
A CHANCE TO SEE NEW LANDS
MAYBE GROW SOME ROOTS FARAWAY
THEY SAILED ON THE OCEANS
THE SAILED ON THE SEAS
THEY CAME ON THE HORIZON
IN THE MORNING SUN
A BRAVE NEW FRONTIER TO BE WON
THEY LANDED ON THE SHORES
HEARTS FULL OF HOPE
THEY BUILT A PLACE TO LIVE
AND GAVE THANKS TO THEIR GODS
LEARNED HOW TO TAKE AND GIVE
THEY TRADED WITH THE NATIVES
SILVER AND GOLD FOR FINEST STEEDS
ONE BY ONE THEY MET THEIR NEEDS
THEY FADED INTO THE LAND
DEALT WITH THE HARDSHIPS
AND THE THINGS THAT DIDN'T
ALWAYS GO AS PLANNED
THEY CELEBRATED LITTLE VICTORIES
DREW LINES IN THE SAND
ALWAYS SOMETHING COME TO LIGHT
TO MAKE TOMORROW
JUST A LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER
AGAINST ODDS SO THIN
ONLY THE BEST SURVIVED
STAYED ALIVE
CENTURIES IN DUST
NEARLY LOST IN TIME
NOWHERE'S TOO FAR
AS YOU WERE
AS YOU ARE
LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE WIND
IS THAT LAUGHTER I CAN HEAR
FARAWAY BUT IT SOUNDS SO NEAR
LOVE SAID GOODBYE
DISAPPEARED IN THE TREES
THE WHERE WAS NEVER SURE
JUST THE WHY
LET ME SLEEP WHERE I LIE
BURIED IN CENTURIES PAST
NO MATTER WHAT
YOU CAN'T LAST
