On & On

at the present time
we are hardly being useful
this moment it's so crucial
to the task at hand

we have yet to see
the fruit of our ambitions
with all of life's conditions
we go on

this is not forsaken time
we are being productive
perhaps we've been destructive
but to ourselves only

we have yet to see
the fruit of our ambitions
with all of life's conditions
we go on and on

at the present time
we are only getting started
as children we're regarded
so we go on and on

all that I say
all washed away
all that I try
to you I confide

we have yet to see
the fruit of our ambitions
with all of life's conditions
we go on...
