I know things are different then they were in 65
G C
When the music came from the heart and kept our thoughts alive.
C
With the songs we were singing we tried to change the world
G C
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
C
We marched from Alabama, we died in Ohio
G
We were the restless generation
C
And now we're in control
G
Of the younger ones, who are hungry
G C
For things of this world Oh, how can we sing our songs.
F Bb F C G
Let us sing our songs the way they're meant to be,
F C Bb F C G
Our troubles and trials in threepart harmony.
C
The road is paved with gold, if you do all that you told,
G C
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
Now that we are older and we've raised our families
And our younger sons are reaching out for something they can't see,
They can't hear it on the radio or watch it in TV,
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
Let us sing our songs ...
How much do we compromise in what we want to sa,
How much creativity did we loose along the way.
We tried to shape the world like asculptor with one hand,
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
