and throw the dice
take a trip and
don't think twice
change the world-
you really can
stand right up
prove you're a man

Shout make love
and put down war
v i e t n a m
is out for sure
do it right-
burn your draft cards
shout the words
hell, we won't fight

Grow your hair
down to your knees
it doesn't matter
if you can't see
make love now
there in the park
it don't matter
if it ain't dark
take your time
and fade away
it's the thing
to g r o o v e today

Oh yes, I remember this time well. The love children, the flowers and beads, the protests, the songs. I was 18 in 1965. Just graduated and headed off for college and then life. Didn't have time to be one of them, but it always sounded like fun. Glad I stayed on the track I was on.

Hugs,
Rita
