Hello old friend,           Remember me?           You
know me not,           But all you see of
me                            Is a memory

There is no time like the present.               There is no
present                         But the past.           My
today                                             Is your
tomorrow,                       With light years                From
my dusk                To your dawn.

You see me                   As I lived                Alongside
glorious Caesar;                A man of
gold.                                Men of bronze            And stone.

Watch my light                As I go dim.              My youth
          As I age,                 My birth                  As I die.
See the memory                      Of your world’s
birth                    In my eye.

Hello old friend,                  Look up.                          And
remember my past,                    As it is in your today.
