A Saga Of A Faded Flower Child

A season of love and hate combust and combine

Scheming politicians busy covering up their crimes
And President "Tricky Dickie" with a dirty slate
Gathering his cronies to tap the Watergate
A long and wretched war fought in a distant place

Our TV's transmit horrors as heads bow for grace
Fleeting,stolen glances that time cannot erase

A nation's shattered innocence at Camelot's demise

Jackie gracefully mourns as the whole world cries
And Dr. King and Bobby slain before our eyes
Despite the shock, we pray their dream survives
Everyone's mantra - Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll
Dylan, Smoky and Jimi adding rhythm and soul

Flying high, our troubles Blowing In The Wind
Living life, With a Little Help From Our Friends
Outta Sight in our tie-dyes and bell-bottom jeans
Woodstock's legendary mother of a music scene
Era of Helter Skelter as Manson's bloodbath shocks
Race for space ignites - Armstrong's moonwalk rocks

Cinema stars Butch, Sundance and McQueen, so hot
Hell No We Won't Go - protesting in a cloud of pot
Innocence of youth going out with a roar
Love-ins & sit-ins - Making Love Not War
Destiny united us for this time of our lives
