Lyrics Our Songs - Desert Rose Band

Our Songs

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