Flower Power


A child of the sixties
A child of the past
When it was here
We thought it would last

Make love, not war
was the motto back then
Free love and peace
The love doesn't end

Drugs were abundant
So we all got high
We never thought
They could make us die

Woodstock was happening
And the music was cool
Bellbottoms were groovy
And grass was our fuel.

The world was our oyster
The world was our stage
There the years go
And then turns the page
