Ivory Towers |
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 |
