When The World Was Young
 
Way back when the world was young
When the land was new and the Songs were sung
The people danced and they learned the Lore
Passed it on – what came before
The land provided what it had to give
To all the people so they could live
They followed the Lore – learnt what’s right
Remembered their stories from the stars at night
With gratitude they gave back to the land
So they could receive with their other hand
Each one knew their place to be
What they had to do – what they could see
Their lives were hard but simple as well
As the Old Ones share in the stories they tell
And the stars they shine with the Old One’s eyes
Soaring above keeping us safe from their place in the skies
