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.
