about

An old style rock song! Though somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the song explores an interesting concept: the desire to live in a perfect world. The lyrics remind us that, though looking back is important, it is essential to live in the present:

"Oh grant that we may see the way that it should be today"

The boys sing the track with obvious enjoyment as you will hear. I only wish you could see their air-guitar on the instrumentals!

lyrics

People live, people die
Day by day the earth rolls by
But I believe there was a day
When things were not this way

Before the Dark, before the day
When effulgence sailed away,
I want to live, I want to walk before the (Dark)
Time, before the hour
When the sunshine killed the flower
I want to live, I want to walk before the Dark

Oh Lord you’ve saved us, taught us how to say
Oh grant that we may see the way that it should be today

Before the Dark, before the day
When effulgence sailed away,
I want to live, I want to walk before the (Dark)
Time, before the hour
When the sunshine killed the flower
I want to live, I want to walk before the Dark

Before the Dark, before the fall
Before the people knew it all
I want to live, I want to walk before the (Dark)
Time, before the hour
When the sunshine killed the flower
I want to live, I want to walk before the Dark

Before the Dark, before the day
When effulgence sailed away,
I want to live, I want to walk before the (Dark)
Time, before the hour
When the sunshine killed the flower
I want to live, I want to walk before the Dark
