I remember yesterday |
|
The circus came to town |
|
The gentle giant's toppen the bill |
|
Supporting were the clowns |
|
I remember Africa |
|
Where millions all roamed free |
|
And little kids drew pictures |
|
Only innocence could see |
|
Oh how we've grown since those |
|
Crazy childhood days |
|
All the mountains that were climbed |
|
And the journeys that were made |
|
Tell me did we change the world? |
|
Will we still live in our ivory towers |
|
While they're staring down the barrel of a gun |
|
Will we still build all those ivory towers |
|
And make believe that we did the things we should have done |
|
Do you remember 68, a time of love and peace? |
|
A generation born in hope |
|
All those promises to keep |
|
I saw you standing on the streets last night |
|
You looked so all alone |
|
Are you still searching for that peace of mind? |
|
Will they find their way back home? |
|
Oh how we've grown since those |
|
Crazy childhood days |
|
All the mountains that were climbed |
|
And the journeys that were made |
|
Tell me did we change the world? |
|
Will we still live in our ivory towers |
|
While they're staring down the barrel of a gun |
|
Will we still build all those ivory towers |
|
And make believe that we did the things we should have done |
|
Were the tears we shared in vain? |
|
There's a millionreasons to ask |
|
What it's all about |
|
Hear the echoes of the past ring out |
|
There's another way |
|
And though the times are changing now |
|
The spirit of our youth still lives |
|
In the heart of the few |
|
Though the sings remind us of a fading memory |
|
But there's no way back |
|
Will we still live in our ivory towers |
|
While they're staring down the barrel of a gun |
|
Will we still build all those ivory towers |
|
And make believe that we did the things we should have done |
