If We Can Dream

The sixties gave us a generation of young Folk with many questions Why? Where have all the flowers gone, and is the answer really Blowing in the wind? A young man named Dylan tried to make some sense Of this whole thing, Yet the nation and world needed more then the words Peace and brotherhood though it sounded good in a song It didn’t stop the endless rows of crosses on Arlington's lawn The youth watched a young man pledge his word the Glow of a candle would light the world but we still ask The question has anybody seen our old friends Abraham Martin and John? As the young man from Tupelo sang if I can dream of a better Land well let’s hope one day we can.
