Lyrics

V1: We live in a time of upheaval
With turmoil all around
Makes me long for retrieval
Of a long lost sight and sound
Flowing gowns and wavy hair
Psychedelics everywhere
Back to 1965 when it felt boss to be alive

Cho: Maybe it's the hippie in me
Makes me want to live peacefully
Secure in who I am and my own worth
I guess it's just the hippie in me
Makes me think that love should be free
As long as I am living on this earth

V2: I see a Woodstock in my future
I feel a love-in coming on
Don't think twice 'cause it's all right
I guess I heard that in a Dylan song
If life is truly a circle game
As Joni would have us believe
Then it's time to come full circle again
And plant a new flower power seed.

Cho:

V3: Come on, baby, light my fire
To quote a line from the Doors
I still feel it today which is why I say
Come on, let's make love not war
It's not just a whim or some line in a movie
Life is meant to be peaceful, loving, and groovy
I'm staging a sit-in, I figured it out
Turn on, tune in, far out

Cho:
