A Year Or A Day Lyrics


Seen from the height of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need?Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the Devil is put to the test, test, test, test?The day of creation was our finest hour
It's something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused
Since the first day of light
That no glory can come in the endYoung man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little for the world we're in
Why and what do you want to survive?Can't we try to let the past go by
With it's lessons firmly settled in our mind
To our children one by one
And before the darkness comes
Let us leave a world full of light

Of a different kindTruth that you meet and with love
Their hearts should beat and with patience
Solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath a life that is a crimeSeen from the height of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need?Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the Devil is put to the testYoung man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the Devil is put to the testYoung man
Young man
Young man

Uriah Heep is a British rock band, officially formed in 1969 in London, England, when record producer Gerry Bron invited keyboardist Ken Hensley (previously a member of The Gods and Toe Fat) to join Spice, members of whom included soon-to-become Heep stalwarts David Byron (vocals) and Mick Box (guitar). The band rapidly grew to become a seminal classic hard rock act of the 1970s and beyond. Their distinctive progressive/art rock/heavy metal fusion has always featured a massive keyboards sound, strong vocal harmonies and (in the early years) David Byron's operatic vocals.

Sometimes jokingly referred to as "The Beach Boys of heavy metal" for their melodic songs, and trademark multi-part harmony backing vocals, although their music draws on diverse influences including psychedelia, gothic sound, progressive rock, hard rock, early heavy metal, jazz, and even country on occasion.

Uriah Heep remains active, its lineup staying steady from 1986 to 2007, when drummer Lee Kerslake left for health reasons, and was replaced by Russell Gilbrook. The current lineup is: Mick Box (guitar, vocals), Trevor Bolder (bass, vocals), Phil Lanzon (keyboards, vocals), Bernie Shaw (lead vocals), and Russell Gilbrook (drums, vocals).
