| The Man in Bronze There he stool high up in the night Stretching up into the pale moon light Gleamingly cold and ridged stood the Man in bronze Shinning, with an inner light, stood the Man in bronze I know very well this awesome Man in bronze The great Man in bronze isn’t bronze at all He is the one that came to save man from a fall Nations still burning, a great war was just ending Insanity urged man on, a greater danger was beginning Atomic flame, man was setting ablaze Man’s future looked like a horrible maze There was no solution, no happy ending in sight Atomic flame was threatening to put out man’s light The Man introduced a new hope for man He gave technology to handle all at hand Alone he stood tall, courageous against the night The Man in bronze stood with tremendous might Shown the path, man on Earth was slow to awake He urged man faster else all ends in a funeral wake The Man in bronze was a single bright guiding light Some men followed him through many a dark night Over the years, lessons were learned, changes were made The Man sharpened the technology; now into an irresistible spade He led mankind to heights never before dreamed Finally some realized there was hope for man it seemed The Man in bronze felt his work was done well here He left the tech to get the job done. But he’s still near. You know when you have those huge wins The Man in bronze gets them just like your twin. You can almost see him up there with a big grin. The war to live, that was never declared, is not won Some of the battles are getting easier, it’s getting done. But the job is still there. In fact the task is everywhere. We are all needed I swear! The path is clear; get on it, you need to move! Freedom is near! Get into the groove! Apply the tech and go free! Do it for him, do it for you and me! ©2009 Carl Watts www.carlwattsartist.com |
