Two Thousand Years Lyrics - River Of Dreams - Billy Joel

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Photos 

And in the evening 

After the fire and the light 

One thing is certain: nothing can hold back the light 

Time is relentless 

And as the past disappears 

We're on the verge of all things new 

We are two thousand years
