Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I was a child of the 60's, where freedom rang,
With flowers in our hair, it was love that we sang.
We marched for our rights, stood tall and proud,
With a creed of allegiance, we drew a big crowd.
We danced to the music of the rock and folk scene,
Where every heart was hopeful and alive, so keen.
Skirts were short, or long, depending on the day,
We believed in our cause, we found our own way.

[Chorus]
Oh, those were the best times, don't you see?
We were young and committed, we believed in the free.
With protests and love-ins, we changed the tide,
For the rights of our sisters, we stood side by side.

[Verse 2]
We gathered in circles, with peace signs held high,
We carried our courage, like stars in the sky.
Burned our bras for freedom, oh what a sight,
In gardens of protest, we stood for the right.
From sit-ins to marches, our voices rang clear,
We sang for the future, we showed no fear.
Now distant echoes whisper, like a soft, haunting song,
Reminding us gently of the battles we fought long.

[Chorus]
Oh, those were the best times, don't you see?
We were young and committed, we believed in the free.
With protests and love-ins, we changed the tide,
For the rights of our sisters, we stood side by side.

[Bridge]
But now it's more than sixty years down the pike,
Rights that we fought for, they fade like the light.
The world spins in circles, with shadows so near,
Sometimes I wonder, can we conquer the fear?
As the worst times are coming, I hold tight to my dreams,
For the power of love is stronger than it seems.

[Verse 3]
So, let's carry our banners, let's sing from the heart,
In this fight for our future, let's all play our part.
With memories of the 60's, we'll light up the night,
With voices united, we'll stand up and fight.
For the youth and the elders, let's pave the way,
In the spirit of those days, we'll honor the play.

[Outro]
Oh, I was a child of the 60's, where freedom rang,
Together we'll rise, with a love that won't wane.
Let's take back the night, let's reclaim the dream,
For the power of our voices is more than it seems.
