Lyrics

way back in sixty-three
we dreamed the world would be
a better place to raise our children in
you know we talked of love
and the spirit from above
we were stardust and we thought that we could win
by the end of sixty-eight
we were stunned by all the hate
and the shadows started rolling in again
way back in sixty-three
we dreamed the world would be

water turns to rainbow when the lightning hits the sea
and the wise change their opinions when their spirits become free
open up your soul and let the sun come pouring in
when your heart is filled love you know that hate's the only sin.

now the politics are whacked
and the country's been hi-jacked
and the terrorists are every shape and size
they want to turn out all the lights
and roll back human rights
how they agitate for liberty's demise
whatever your persuasion
it don't fit in their equation
so they cut you down with sharpened blades and lies
now the politics are whacked
and the country's been hi-jacked

water turns to rainbow when the lightning hits the sea
and the wise change their opinions when their spirits become free
open up your soul and let the sun come pouring in
when your heart is filled love you know that hate's the only sin.

====================================================

the people were so shaken
nearly fifty years it's taken
for equal rights to gain a single win
way back in 63
we dreamed the world would be

water turns to rainbow when the lightning hits the sea
and the wise change their opinions when their spirits become free
open up your heart and see there is no need to doubt
hate's the only sin but love can work it out.
