Lyrics
He was amazed and in wonder, when he first touched the writing for night He knew there was hope for the future, for changing the darkness to light But one man spoke of his people, as degraded, condemned on the earth So many had never imagined, their writing could be of much worth He had a vision of love…Number 70 He had a vision of love…how their lives could be He had a vision of love…Number 70 Yes, a vision of love…a new world they see He was a kind-hearted teacher, loaning to others for clothing and food Although infirm he would realize, his life was to bring others good But they burned his books and his letters, and they tried to repress his ideas And punished were those who resisted, yet they pressed on despite all their fears As a child he was scoffed at so cruelly, and his passing was mourned by few Yet he opened a new world for many, that changed and expanded their view And now his ideas are imbedded, in places that most don’t perceive In our presence are magical letters, that set the less fortunate free
