about

"On this day x number of years ago, y happened." Anniversaries are noted in news, on calendars and many other ways every day. And on this day long ago, some milestone good or bad happened for your ancestors and mine. Two millennia are too far back for me to visualize, so it's purely my imagination. And that somehow makes it feel quite real to me.

lyrics

Words & music 2016 ©Catalooch Music, BMI

Two thousand years ago today, a farmer walked his fields,
Wondered what the land would yield, before the winter snow
Two thousand years ago today, two young lovers kissed,
laughed and made a wish, beneath a shooting star glow

Chorus:
Someday in a far and distant future
Millennia beyond imagining
as time ticks away, what will remain
of how we lived and loved,
today

Two thousand years ago today, anger hurled a stone,
to break another's bones and keep some fool upon a throne
Two thousand years ago today, a cog in a war machine,
drew his last breath on a distant plain, as he dreamed of home

Two thousand years ago today, a mama hushed her little ones,
kissed them on the head and tucked them into bed
turned her face towards the sky, for blessings from on high
prayed to guide them safe, on the unknown path ahead
she wondered,
