Ode To Berkeley

Ode to Berkeley TBC I grew up in Berkeley, my spiritual home. I grew up in the 60’s crazy time. No matter where in the world I might roam, Berkeley always center of my space time. Berkeley is the center of everything Berkeley is what it is, a special place Berkeley is a special place, a special city To Berkeley, California I sing It has always been there, my special home base Berkeley is gritty and also pretty. Berkeley has always been in its own zone Berkeley at times is stuck in a time warp Berkeley is my home, foundation stone At times Berkeley is stuck in a warp In Berkeley it is always the 60s A city stuck in time and in the past Berkeley is a very expensive town But sometimes it is also the 80s Berkeley holds on to its values steadfast Berkeley use to be a very blacktown. Berkeley is a city with many hills I graduate from Berkeley High I grew up in the Berkeley foothills Berkeley is foggy, seldom a blue sky Berkeley is a city of such music The best band ever, tower of power Also home of such great bands like green day All kinds of music except country music There is no band better than the tower In the end Berkeley is a city by the bay.
