Just a Stepping Stone

The world of the past was a different place
A time when life moved at a slower pace
People lived off the land and worked with their hands
And the world was a little bit more grand

But as time went on, things started to change
Technology advanced and rearranged
The way we live and work and play
And now, in the present, we stand on the cusp of a new day

The world of tomorrow is a mystery
A place where the unknown is yet to be
But one thing is certain, it won't be the same
As the world we live in today, with all its pain and its shame

The present is just a stepping stone
A bridge between the world we've known
And the world that's yet to come
A place where the future is still to be won

So let's embrace the present and all it has to give
And work towards a future that we can truly live
A world that's better for us all
A place where we can stand tall

For the present is just a stepping stone
A moment that's here and then gone
But the future is ours to shape
And the world of tomorrow is ours to create.

For the present, it's just a stepping stone
To the world of tomorrow, a place we call home.
