The Times Were Changing: the Sixties
It was a time of turbulence and of change
We saw the take-off to the moon
A president shot by man, deranged
The Beatles break-up was coming too soon
King had been to the mountain top
Inspiring the world for a needed turn
Vietnam policing just didn’t stop
With protests requesting the government learn
The days were young, change past due
The sixties arrived with a bang
With riots, protests, the British too
It was a time of which we sang
