Lyrics
Did You Know? by Vic Zarley (Verses spoken) Did You know that it would be this way When You were here so long ago? Could You imagine Jumbo jets Rocket ships and movie shows? Would You watch the television News at six o’clock at night? If the picture tube was good And the sound was set just right? (Chorus sung) Did You know there’d be some hunger In the modern world to come? Did You know that when You left us There’d be much more to be done? Did You know the world has cried for you Since the time You’d gone? And the essence of your presence In our hearts and minds lives on Did You know? Oh, did You know? Would You read the news each day And the editorials? Were the things You used to say Always metaphorical? What WOULD You have to say to us If You were here these modern times? Are You coming back again and if You are What are the signs? (chorus) I wish I could have heard You teaching In the hills near Galilee The words You spoke were so far reaching We have just begun to see I wish our president and all The premiers of the foreign states Could touch the garment that You wear And hear before it is too late (chorus twice)
