Karmakanic - 1969 lyrics

"Half a million strong" headed for love They danced in the pasture of lightning, thunder and mud Primitive chantings, sounds from a wooden drum Songs about love and how we shall overcome How the world was changing Right before our eyes 1969, revolution Expansion of minds to the moon and back With flowers in their hair they turned towards the sun End of love and Haight, riots in the name of freedom How the world was changing Underneath the sky How the world is changing Hope and faith arise Summer is over, a new age has won The Dynasty decayed, shameless with lust Drunk on desire and personal gain While menacing serpents writhe in their veins How the world is, how the world is changing How the world is How the world is, how the world is changing How the world is How the world is changing Under darkened skies We cannot fathom what we have become What we're doing, where did we go wrong We're lost in the chaos, nights without rest Drowning the voices, breaking the limits Screaming for quiet, fighting for peace Wondering if this is how it should be Where did you go, 1969 Your spirit is needed, it's time to fly Send us your captain, send us a guide Searching for love, both low and high How the world is changing Fear and hate arise A battle is raging, gravity pulls us down We wonder is somebody somewhere Will help us make it out As our gentle eyes grow older The light and beauty reappears We can almost see it in everything The years have a pulse and the rhythm connecting every dot And we can't seem to unraval This jumbled mess of starts and stops And we're hoping that there's a purpose Will we find all we have lost The warmth in the winter, and the morning frost We stand still beholding the light of the stars As it travels through space and time for miles and miles The miracle ends and then another begins And it's spinning around and around 1969 1969
