Building Blocks

you can make things new

or you can make them old

either one is true

let fortune take the bold.

when you're living in time

just to make a dime

it can be so hard

to make a fresh start.

right now, it seems that nothing's heard

but how it changes in a flash

when the world around's deferred

when it all begins to crash

when the ending comes for the system

everything depends on persistence

that's when we all take what we've learned

use it and then teach, in turn.

we can make the world anew

but we really need you, too

we'll be running low

with nowhere to go.

so please develop your own talents

but do not give up the balance

it's important to clear away

but even more so to just say

I am learning from the past

we'll make the future, day by day.
