**Verse 1** Judge us kindly if you must, But judge us still when we've turned to dust. Find the cracks we could not see, The blind spots of our century. You'll inherit more than names, Our victories, our faults, our flames. Take the wisdom, leave the weight, Don't let our answers seal your fate. **Pre-Chorus** We were children of our age, Writing on an endless page. May your questions carry far Beyond the place we've learned to are. **Chorus** Presentism? Please do. See beyond the things we knew. If your light reveals our night, Don't apologize for sight. Take what's true and let it stay. Let the rest just fade away. If you stand where we once stood, Cling to what is truly good. **Verse 2** We mistook some fears for fact, Some old stories for a map. Some traditions held us fast, Some deserved to never last. Every age believes it's wise, Every age wears borrowed eyes. May your vision reach beyond Every truth we leaned upon. **Bridge** Question every sacred claim, Every banner, every name. Every law and every creed, Every answer, every need. If it cannot bear the light, It was never truly right. If it stands through every test, Carry it—and leave the rest. **Final Chorus** Presentism? Please do. May your mercy outrun truth. See our failures, see them plain, Then refuse to wear our chains. Stars await beyond our skies. Walk with wonder in your eyes. Build on all we tried to do— Presentism? Please do. **Outro** May your children question you, As you've questioned those before. Not to break what still is good... But to open one more door.
