Long, long ago when the world was young And the songs of time were unsung A piper did play at the dawn of the day A song that did shine like the sun And the beasts of the earth, one by one Did follow the song that he sung Play me a song, Pied Piper Play me a song, Pied Piper Play me a song, Pied Piper Pied Piper, I call your name Please play for us your song again We cannot stand this stagnant pain for long Because for us the light of day Has hid its face and fades away So on your pipe for us please play a song Now as the pages of time disappear Into shadows of darkness and fear We wait for the sound that will gladly rebound Through the earth and the sky so clear And the birds of the earth, they will cry As the sweet song of life fills the sky Play me a song, Pied Piper Play me a Song, Pied Piper Play me a song, Pied Piper Pied Piper, I call your name Please play for us your song again We cannot stand this stagnant pain for long Because for us the light of day Has hid its face and fades away So on your pipe for us please play a song Long, long ago when the world was young And the songs of time were unsung A piper did play at the dawn of the day A song that did shine like the sun
