Though you are gone, I won’t forget
For you are still among us, yet
Whispering your wise old words
As I sit listening, among the birds
I look to you. Look up, you see?
I stand before you on my knee
Grateful for the words you gave
On how to love, how to behave
Tacitus, I know you not
Yet you are here, and not forgot
Socrates, I love you so
How did you know what things I know?
Aristotle, close to heart
For when time rips us all apart
It’s saddening, it’s tragedy
That this world seems it cannot see
Cassius, the Medici
It’s you who I have wished to be
Shoulders of the giants come
Like fathers speaking to their son
You all live on, I swear to you
And though I know not what to do
You’re here with me, I feel your hand
Guiding me to our new land
How the World Should Work
