Lyrics:

She has no fear of failure, she's not bent with broken dreams.
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.

Oh, she is always seventeen;

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,-aca
