Notes To The Future - Patti Smith (帕蒂·史密斯)[00:00:00]

Listen my children and you shall hear[00:00:00]

The sound of your own steps[00:00:04]

The sound of your hereafter[00:00:06]

Memory awaits and turns to greet you[00:00:09]

Draping its banner across your wrists[00:00:12]

Wake up arms[00:00:15]

Delicate feet[00:00:17]

For as one to march the streets[00:00:18]

Each alone each part of another[00:00:21]

Your steps shall ring[00:00:23]

Shall raise the cloud[00:00:25]

And they that will hear will hear[00:00:27]

Will hear voice of the one[00:00:29]

And the one and the one[00:00:31]

As it has never been uttered before[00:00:33]

For something greater yet to come[00:00:37]

Then the hour of the prophets[00:00:40]

And their great cities[00:00:42]

For the people of Ninevah[00:00:43]

Fell to their knees[00:00:45]

Heeding the cry of Jonah[00:00:47]

United[00:00:49]

Covering themselves in sackcloth and ashes[00:00:49]

And called to their god[00:00:53]

And all their hearts were as one heart [00:00:55]

And all their voices were as one voice [00:00:57]

God heard them and his mind was moved [00:01:00]

Yet something greater will come to pass [00:01:04]

And who will call [00:01:07]

And what will they call [00:01:08]

Will they call to God [00:01:10]

The air [00:01:12]

The fowl [00:01:12]

It will not matter if the call is true [00:01:13]

They shall call and this is known [00:01:16]

One voice and each another[00:01:19]

Shall enter the dead the living flower [00:01:21]

Enter forms that we know not [00:01:24]

To be felt by sea [00:01:27]

By air [00:01:28]

By earth[00:01:29]

And shall be an elemental pledge [00:01:30]

This is our birthright [00:01:33]

This is our charge [00:01:35]

And we have given over to others [00:01:36]

And they have[00:01:38]

Not[00:01:39]

Done[00:01:39]

Well[00:01:40]

And the forests mourn [00:01:40]

The leaves fall [00:01:42]

Swaddling babes watch and wonder[00:01:44]

As the fathers of our spirit nations[00:01:46]

Dance in the street in celebration[00:01:49]

As the mountains turn pale from[00:01:52]

Their nuclear hand[00:01:54]

And they have[00:01:55]

Not[00:01:56]

Done[00:01:56]

Well[00:01:57]

Now my children[00:01:57]

You must overturn the tables[00:02:00]

Deliver the future from material rule[00:02:02]

For only one rule should be considered[00:02:06]

The eleventh commandment[00:02:08]

To love one another[00:02:10]

And this is our covenant across your wrist[00:02:12]

This offering is yours[00:02:15]

To adorn adore[00:02:18]

To bury[00:02:20]

To burn[00:02:20]

Upon a mound[00:02:21]

To hail[00:02:23]

To set away[00:02:24]

It is merely a cloth [00:02:25]

Merely our colors [00:02:27]

Invested with the blood of the people[00:02:29]

All their hopes and dreams [00:02:31]

Our flag[00:02:33]

It has its excellence[00:02:35]

Yet it is nothing[00:02:37]

It shall not be a tyranny above us[00:02:39]

Nor should god[00:02:42]

Nor love[00:02:43]

Nor nature[00:02:44]

Yet we hold as our pleasure this tender honor[00:02:45]

That we acknowledge the individual[00:02:48]

And the common ground formed[00:02:50]

And if our cloth be raised and lowered[00:02:53]

Half mast[00:02:56]

What does it tell us [00:02:57]

That an individual has passed[00:02:58]

Is saluted[00:03:01]

And mourned by his countrymen [00:03:02]

This ritual extends to us all [00:03:05]

For we are all the individual [00:03:08]

No unknown [00:03:10]

No insignificant one[00:03:12]

Nor insignificant labor[00:03:15]

Nor insignificant act of charity[00:03:17]

Each has a story to be told and retold[00:03:20]

Which shall be a glowing thread[00:03:23]

In the fabric of Man[00:03:26]

And the children shall march[00:03:27]

And bring the colors forward[00:03:29]

Investing within them[00:03:32]

The redeeming blood[00:03:34]

Of their revolutionary hearts [00:03:36]
