lyrics

Children of The Woodstock Age

Well, the word spread through the underground
Three days of love and song
So I loaded up my microbus
And I went to sing along
In the age of Aquarius
When peace would come at last
It felt like change was coming
And it was coming fast

So I bought in to the promise
Thought the time was soon at hand
We’d learn to leave the hate and fear
With new hope for man
We didn’t know it then
but our lives were forever changed
Children of the Woodstock Age

We came home with our brand new hopes
We thought we’d found the truth
We thought we held the power
In the innocence of our youth
Then we went and raised our families
Holding tight to our beliefs
While some just laughed and looked at us
And called us all naive

But we bought in to the promise
Thought the time was soon at hand
We’d learn to leave the hate and fear
With a new hope for man
We didn’t know it then
But our joy would turn to rage
Children of the Woodstock Age

Then the wheels were turning slowly
Fueled by power and by greed
With no regard for peace and love
Or humanity…
And we watched our vision crumble
While our spirits paid the cost
Waking to a new world
And wondering what we’d lost

Now the Wall Street bankers call the shots
Thinking they’ve already won
Corporations own the Congress
Up in Washington
And in our disillusionment
Now we wonder what went wrong
Cause the dreams that we believed in once
Now are almost gone

But I still look for some promise
Hoping it might come again
Though its impossible to say
How or where or when
As we’ve waved goodbye to innocence
Forced to turn the page
Children of the Woodstock Age
Children of the Woodstock Age
