To live in this time
As this century closes
And we leave behind
More than one century
A millennium of years
Our history is filled
With blood, sweat and tears
It's time to move forward
Leave the past behind
A new era approaches
Please let's make it kind
I look back and see
All the death and destruction
Our time is now
To begin the construction
A new way of thinking
Of what we could be
A golden opportunity
Is laid at our feet
The next thousand years
Depends upon us
Destiny is crying
So please don't stop trying
Just take one moment
Think what you could do
To propell into motion
Peace, love and devotion
Make it a time
When all can look back
And thank us for changing
The sorrows of our past
Lifting the spirit
Of this human's race
Take this advantage
Help slow down the pace
Create a new way
To live, love and play
We can learn from the past
And make this new way last
