These Seven Men

(album: Time To Think - 1963)

He's gone away for to stay a little while
But he's coming back if he goes ten thousand miles

Who are these seven men whose path leads them so far
And shake our minds to wonder who they are?
They scout the new frontier to find the surest way
And they look to us for they have shown the way

They're gone away for to stay a little while
But they're coming back if they go ten thousand miles

What is there left to look to that yet has not been done
What West is there if all the Wests are won?
Look not back o'er your shoulder but high above your head
These seven men have shown the way
These seven men have said

"We've gone away for to stay a little while
But we're coming back if we go ten thousand miles
We're gone, gone away"
