Pastime
(1)
They've been spending most
their lives
Living in a pastime
paradise
They've been wasting most
their time
Glorifying days long gone
behind
They've been wasting most
their days
In remembrance of ignorance
oldest praise
Tell me who of them will
come to be
How many of them are you
and me

Dissipation Race Relations
Consolation Segregation
Dispensation Isolation

Confirmation......to the
evils of the world
They've been spending most
their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been looking in their

For the days that sorrow's
gone from time
They keep telling of the
day
When the Savior of love
will come to stay
Tell me who of them will
come to be
How many of them are you
and me

Living in a future paradise
We've been spending too
much of our lives
Living in a pastime
paradise
Let's start living our
lives
Living for the future
paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future
paradise
Shame to anyone lives
Living in a pastime
paradise
