Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

Brian Miller -
great song
Vanessa Marie Niño-Tapia -
Yaqui Radio just played this...so true.
Daniel John Pajak -
Some really great songs show science and math can be fun and entertaining...this song shows history can be riveting and entertaining, as well...depending on the delivery................great song and many important events are covered; yet, of course, in a century as busy as the twentieth was, some equally important events had to be left out..........................especially since it came out ten years before the end of the century.
Debby Simon Davis -
