53 Years Ago Today
a grassy knoll
shots rang out
left a world in fear
with a world in doubt
we watched Camelot
suddenly pass away
on the harsh streets of Dallas
53 years ago today
as the 60's arrived
newly on the scene
hello nightmare
goodbye american dream
on that fateful day
it all fell apart
shot a hole in our soul
left a hole in our heart
when on that grassy knoll
shots rang out
which left a world in fear
to a world in doubt
