They paved the way laid the stones we walk
Raised the walls and built the clock
Now they wait at the station trains rushing past
A world that moves too quickly leaving them last

Left behind in a race they once led
Disconnected with so much unsaid
Time keeps turning but where do they stand?
The future forgets the builders of the land

The bus never comes the doctor's too far
The streets feel empty no guiding star
Technology towers where silence remains
And progress moves on ignoring their pain

Left behind in a race they once led
Disconnected with so much unsaid
Let's turn back time and give them their due
For the past holds the key to what's truly new

Not gone just waiting where progress won't tread
Their stories remain though the world moves ahead
