TIME GONE BY |
|
by Carole King |
|
The rebel cry of desolation |
|
To which we used to hearken |
|
Echoes now in isolation |
|
As the skies in fury darken |
|
A thousand acts of desecration |
|
Hundreds more continue |
|
When y'know that you are all creation |
|
You're gonna fight them with all that's in you |
|
I remember time gone by |
|
When peace and hope and dreams were high |
|
We followed inner visions and touched the sky |
|
Now we who still believe won't let them die |
|
Waters dammed to overflowing |
|
Like tears brimming over in our eyes |
|
Sometimes it's so hard to keep on going |
|
When promises turn to lies |
|
Go ahead, give into confussion |
|
And put aside your ideals too |
|
Soon you'll see only illusion |
|
Don't care who's hurt |
|
As long as it's not you |
|
CHORUS |
|
Soemtimes a leader emerges |
|
And is followed for a while |
|
Doesn't matter what he encourages |
|
Just as long as he's got style |
|
Young ones conceived in a passion |
|
Of directions we thought enlighted |
|
Grown up they follow the mood in fashion |
|
But beneathe their bravado |
|
you know they're frightened |
|
CHORUS |
