We danced with dreams and stood so proud.
The radio played our hearts’ refrain,
In smoky rooms, we'd break the chain.
The world was changing, wild and new,
With every dawn, a brighter hue.
Through summers long and nights so free,
My '70s youth was all I’d be.
We danced with dreams and stood so proud.
The radio played our hearts’ refrain,
In smoky rooms, we'd break the chain.
The world was changing, wild and new,
With every dawn, a brighter hue.
Through summers long and nights so free,
My '70s youth was all I’d be.
A distant hope, so far away.
Promises of freedom, wide and free,
Now buried deep, beneath the sea.
The road was clear, the future bright,
Now lost within the darkest night.
The dream we chased, with hearts aglow,
Now slips through fingers we don’t know.
A distant hope, so far away.
Promises of freedom, wide and free,
Now buried deep, beneath the sea.
The road was clear, the future bright,
Now lost within the darkest night.
The dream we chased, with hearts aglow,
Now slips through fingers we don’t know.
A dream once bright, now worn and worn.
The freedom sung by voices proud,
Is lost beneath a rising cloud.
Oh, America, we mourn the past,
Where peace and dreams could still hold fast.
Will we return, or fade away,
In shadows cast by words we say?
A dream once bright, now worn and worn.
The freedom sung by voices proud,
Is lost beneath a rising cloud.
Oh, America, we mourn the past,
Where peace and dreams could still hold fast.
Will we return, or fade away,
In shadows cast by words we say?
