Lord, help us do well All that we have to do Feet on the ground, heads in the clouds Live a life that's free and easy Pall and good Show us the trend There came a time, "No more," we said "To leave it in their hands divine." Show us the trend Set out sails, burnt our boats Independence ruled the day While pleasure stole the night Epochs past, lives were spent Until a new band came Did not intend to spend Cease from your haste, they said Leave time to repeat Your aims, they are misplaced You don't have to race, they cried Oh Lord, help us do All we have to do "With negligent regret, The world sped on."
