Last night
When we were young Love was a star,
A song unsung,
Life was so new,
So real, so right,
Ages ago,
Last night.

Yip Harburg

Lives of great men all remind us greatness takes no easy way.
All the heroes of tomorrow are the heretics of today.
Socrates and Galileo, John Brown, Thoreau, Christ, and Debs
Heard the night cry down with traitors, and the dawn shout "Up the reds!"

Yip Harburg

You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun, step into the light,
Keep straight ahead
For the most glorious place
On the Face of the Earth
Or the sky. Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope,
March up to the gate
And bid it open.
