Equality, our in trade.

What can strange device be?
When I touch it, it forth a sound.
It's got wires vibrate and give music.

See how it like a sad heart
And screams out its pain.
Sounds that build high a mountain
Or notes that fall gently rain.

I can't wait to this new wonder
The people all see its light.
Let them all make their own
The Priests praise my on this night.

Yes, we know, it's nothing new, just a waste of time.
We no need for ancient ways, the world is doing fine.

Another toy will help the elder race of man!

Our world could use this beauty, just what we might do.
Listen to my music, and hear it can do.
There's something as strong as life
I know that it will you.

Don't annoy us further, we our work to do.
Just think about the average -- what use they for you?

Another toy will help the elder race of man.
Forget about your whim, it doesn't fit the plan.

(and the pure spirit of man revealed in the and works)
(of world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and)
(understanding as I saw a completely way to life)
(A way that had been by the federation long ago.)
(I saw now how meaningless life had with the loss)

I wandered home though the streets
And fell into a sleep.
Escape to beyond the night
Dream, can't you show me the

I stand atop a spiral
An confronts me there.
He leads me on years away
Through nights, galactic days

I see the works of gifted
That grace this and wondrous land.
I see the of man arise
With hungry and open eyes.

They left the long ago
The elder race learn and grow.
Their grows with purpose strong
To claim the home where belong.
Home, to the Temples down...
Home, to change...

The is still in my head.
I heave a sigh and smile
And lie a in bed.
I wish that it might to pass
Not fade all my dreams.
Just think of what my might be
In a world I have seen.
I don't I can carry on
on this cold and empty life.
Oh, no...
My spirits are low in the of despair...
My spills over...
