Woodstock ‘69

Woodstock ‘69

 

 

At first they said we couldn’t;

And then they found they couldn’t stop us now.

We came together as one people.

The smoke we blew, flew up and made the clouds.

 

 

They said it wouldn’t happen,

But the happening is louder than one sound.

With peace and love we could be happy;

Try as they might to bring us down.

 

 

There stands a sea of people.

The band on stage, the force behind the hand.

We come in peace, so peaceful.

We crash wherever, sleeping on the land.

 

 

The voices spread like a virus.

Chinese whispers write a novel of romance.

They couldn’t understand what lives inside us.

Now they see, we only came to sing and dance.

 

 

Love is all you need, to truly love your life, man!

The concert is a sell-out.

The tickets all say free; it’s no more plans.

Just flowing with the motion, taking all we have.

The rain came down and some said, that was the end of that.

 

 

Up rose a half a million peace signs.

The food is free; the peace is in your hands.

This thing that they called Woodstock,

Grew bigger than you…and I’m a hippy man.
