For the future's just beginning
when you're always seventeen.
It was nineteen sixty-one when we went to
Washington;
she put her arms around me and said, "Camelot's begun."
We listened to his
visions of how our land should be;
we gave him our hearts and minds to send across the
sea.
Nineteen sixty-three, white and black upon the land;
she brought me to the
monuments and made us all join hands.
And scarcely six months later she held me through the
night
when we heard what had happened in that brutal Dallas light.
Oh, she is
always seventeen;
she has a dream that she will lend us and a love that we can borrow.
There is so much joy inside her she will even share her sorrow;
she's our past, our present,
and our promise of tomorrow.
Oh, truly she's the only hope I've seen, and she is always
seventeen.
It was nineteen sixty-five and we were marching once more
from the
burning cities against a crazy war.
Memphis, L.A. and Chicago we bled through
sixty-eight
till she took me up to Woodstock saying with love it's not too late.
We
started out the seventies living off the land;
she was sowing seeds in Denver trying to make
me understand
that mankind is woman and woman is man,
and until we free each other we
cannot free the land.
Oh, she is always seventeen;
she has a dream that she will
lend us and a love that we can borrow.
There is so much joy inside her she will even share her
sorrow;
she's our past, our present, and our promise of tomorrow.
Oh, truly she's the
only hope I've seen, and she is always seventeen.
Nineteen seventy-two, I'm at the end
of my rope,
but she was picketing the White House chanting,
"The truth's the only
hope."
In nineteen seventy-five when the crooked king was gone
she was feeding starving
children saying the dream must go on.
she is always seventeen;
she has a dream that she
will lend us and a love that we can borrow.
There is so much joy inside her she will even
share her sorrow;
she's our past, our present, and our promise of tomorrow.
Oh, truly
she's the only hope I've seen, and she is always seventeen | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
