Norman Vincent Peale - Absorbing and Creating Change lyrics

Artist: Norman Vincent Peale

album: Live with Confidence, Vol. 1: Lessons for Living


Some weeks ago,
My wife and I spent a delightful evening with old friends of ours
And we got to talking about how different things are now
How quickly the environment changes.
We all agreed that this will be a pretty excited time to live in.
Just think my friend said nothing to 90 percent of all the men who
Could become scientist in the whole
History of the world are alive today
My mother often talks about the good old days,
Streets were led by gas lights and
Travellng by train was a great adventure.
Now a days who has the time to take a leisurely time bay plane,
Indeed many of our young people
Probably had never travelled on a train.
The talk with sprinkles like countdown docking rendezvous and space,
Its hard to believe that only 50 some old years ago the right
Brothers flew their very first airplane at
Kiddieho, it seems like ancient history to us now.
Many people come to me who are
Confuse and frightened by the word in a.
Things are moving too fast they say.
Man isn't capable of coping to such rapid change.
Life seems to be easier, better, I disagree.
You know, memory plays a funny trick on us.
A great French writer,
Marcell pruce wrote all about memory in time in
His classic novel called Remembering some things past.
In it prove how each of us remember the past differently,
How we all select those things in a pleasant to remember.
How we color disagree of the event so that
They don't seem as bad as they really were.
Certainly, there are many things we can learn from the past but where
Are they the good old days to woman who didn't have the vote
To the people who work 12 hours a day without a minimum wage.
For the thousands of children who are
Afraid with polio and other dread diseases.
I know that change can be difficult to accept.
As we get older.
All to open that is set our ways.
We tend to accept it in our ways.
We're more comfortable with the things we know.
It's easier to do things as we've always done them.
But you know the glory of men is the
Infinite flexibility of his mind and spirit.
There is nothing we can't learn and
Understand and do if we set our minds to it.
If we're not afraid of a little hard work.
Now, for the first time in the history of the world mankind
Has the capacity to eliminate many so called insoluble problems.
With the help of new technology and recent scientific discoveries,
We're beginning to attack the age old
Problems of poverty, hunger and disease.
Our children are going tall and strong.
They are healthier and better educated than ever before.
Someday soon, these children of ours will be travelling
To distant stars and planets settling the new frontier.
