"I've Seen"

What did you see thirty years ago?
Your words will free dust off road signs on this lost world.

I've seen a day.
I've seen a strife.
I've seen a way.
In black and white, I've seen.

Come back to see the road you paved.
Patch holes we've made.
What have you seen in thirty years past?

I've seen a waste.
I've seen a mind.
I've seen disgrace.
In black and white, I've seen.

Where did you go?
Can we proceed?

You've lit dark roads, but we still can't see our children's souls.

I've seen a love.
I've seen a hate.
I've been above.
It's not too late, I've seen.
