Looking Back
The difference a half century makes
a blink of an eye is all it takes
things never imagined to be,
now a new reality for you and me
things never imagined to be,
now a new reality for you and me
How much could we have learned
but for the foolish time we burned
now simply thrown to the wind.
To whom do I this message send?
but for the foolish time we burned
now simply thrown to the wind.
To whom do I this message send?
If not to another, then to me
for it is I that have failed to see,
things I just passed on by
never the time to love or cry.
for it is I that have failed to see,
things I just passed on by
never the time to love or cry.
Serfdom lies ahead;
the freedoms we shred,
given up to be kept
with the devil we slept.
the freedoms we shred,
given up to be kept
with the devil we slept.
