This you knows. The years travel fast.
1:36:08
And time after time
I've done the Tell.
1:36:11
But this ain 't one body's Tell.
It's the Tell of us all.
1:36:15
And you got to listen it and 'member.
1:36:18
'Cause what you hears today,
you got to tell the newborn tomorrow.
1:36:23
I's looking behind us now,
into history back.
1:36:27
I sees those of us that got the luck
and started the haul for home.
1:36:32
It lead us here and we was heartful
'cause we seen what there once was.
1:36:38
One look, and we knewed
we'd got it straight.
1:36:41
Those what had gone before had knowing
of things beyond our reckoning. . .
1:36:46
. . .even beyond our dreaming.
1:36:49
Time counts and keeps counting.
1:36:53
And we knows now. . .
1:36:55
. . .finding the trick of what's
been and lost ain't no easy ride.
1:36:59
But that's our track.
We got to travel it.
1:37:03
And there ain't nobody knows
where it's gonna lead.
1:37:07
Still and all, every night
we does the Tell. . .
1:37:11
. . .so that we 'member who we was
and where we came from.
1:37:15
But most of all we 'members
the man who finded us...
1:37:19
...him that came the salvage.
1:37:22
And we lights the city.
Notjust for him...
1:37:25
...but for all of them
that are still out there.
1:37:28
'Cause we knows
there'll come a night...
1:37:31
... when they sees the distant light...
1:37:33
...and they'll be coming home.
