Looking back, looking back at Utah’s history
There’s been a lot of changes for you and me to see.
First there were the Indians, then came some trappers too
Followed by the pioneers, and the population grew.
Chorus:
We’ve come a long way since yesterday (yesterday)
And tomorrow we will see.
A bright new day that’s filled with hope and opportunity.
We’ve come a long way since yesterday (yesterday)
our future depends on you and me. (you and me)
Let’s make each and every day the best that it can be.
Looking back, looking back at Utah’s history
The people were industrious as busy as a bee.
They mined for coal and copper, and other min’rals too.
They farmed and manufactured goods was work for all to do .
Chorus
Looking back, looking back at Utah’s early schools
Children learned to read and write, and to follow the rules.
Brigham Young made sure that books were brought with them out West
Wanted children to grow up and do their very best.
