Story To Tell (The Preface)
There is a tear, old man
On your face and your hands are shaking
Is it fear, old man
Or just a trace of hatred awakening?
You've a story to tell
And you tell it so well
But the story is not in the lines on a page,
The story is in the lines on your face
This is the world, old man
For which your worked and loved with passion
A cultured pearl, old man
That your heart and hands helped to fashion
They want to change your way of life
A life you thought was right
All you've held dear since birth, they'll rearrange
But I don't think you're going to live to see the change
On your face and your hands are shaking
Is it fear, old man
Or just a trace of hatred awakening?
You've a story to tell
And you tell it so well
But the story is not in the lines on a page,
The story is in the lines on your face
This is the world, old man
For which your worked and loved with passion
A cultured pearl, old man
That your heart and hands helped to fashion
They want to change your way of life
A life you thought was right
All you've held dear since birth, they'll rearrange
But I don't think you're going to live to see the change
