Back in 1955
Wasn't hard to survive
You know that no one lived
But no one died and no one
Thought we'd every cry
[Chorus:]
Sunshine roses, sweet holy moses
Ethan Allen, come and sing me a song
Any day now, Lord, any way now
Somebody come and take us away
Someone come and take us away
It was 1963, I said hello
You know I'm free and
I've come to claim our liberty
For you and you and you and me
Come on, sing it now
[Chorus:]
It was there upon the hill
Five hundred thousand standing still
With our hopes and dreams that never
Will become the truth someday until
We start singing now
[Chorus:]
The joker's laughing on the floor
No one knows why or knows what for
But I think it's time we close the door
Before it's 1984
Come on, sing it now
[Chorus:]
Let me hear you now
[Chorus:]
Everybody now
[Chorus:]
