He who cannot draw upon three thousand years Is living from hand to mouth
If there is wisdomLet's hope to find it here
Come to know
All thoughts advance
Era to era
And so if
You wish to understand
Modern process
Look behind and witness
Conception
Now stand on the shoulders of history's tallest thinkers
See that their height
Is borrowed from predecessors
And even the worst ideas
Can spur better conceptions
Pushing
Humankind
Along
An evolutionary
Rite of passage
Take a look and come to know
All thoughts advance
Era to era
And so if
You wish to understand
Modern process
Look behind and witness
Conception and progress
We'll be tomorrow's
Heritage
The giants of advancing thought
But if only
We respect
The statuesque preceding
Let's be tomorrow's
Heritage
The giants of advancing thought
Let us respect
The work of
The statuesque preceding
