Hawkwind - Looking in the Future lyrics

Lives of great men all remind us we may make our lives sublime And so departing leave behind us Footprints in the sands of time And with the writing I will show you Looking in the days beyond recall As I lecture back with the spirits of the other time I'm living in the future I'm looking in the future I'm living in the future Not a sound was heard No call came from the bird Only the carpet of green From towering trees was seen Where have they all gone? Why was there no song? I'm living in the future Looking at the past
