Peace flowed through the city like a river,
long after the midnight curfew.
We stood there, enthusiastic and dreamy,
we were satisfied
and I remember.
Misinformation chased us like a plague,
no one ever knew
if plans had been changed
if plans had been changed

You can hit us with wires
you can hit us with chains
you can impose your rules
but you know you cannot outrun the train of history
I saw a day of glory........
