A Child of '68

I am a child of 68, a year that's filled with turmoil and unrest

When leaders had no answers and love it turns to protest

I am a child of 68, the death of hope in a Memphis motel

Martin Luther's dream has died, as the world it bids its last farewell

This is the year the sixties dreams were dying

Insanity it takes control as the body count keeps rising

This is the year the innocents were corrupted

Love has faded from our lives and no one can be trusted

I am a child of 68, Apollo 8 shows us the Earthrise

A view that changed our view and made our planet feel so small

I am a child of 68, the death of change in a hotel in LA

RFK had a vision, a world of colour turns to grey

This is the year the sixties dreams were dying

Insanity it takes control as the body count keeps rising

This is the year the innocents were corrupted

Love has faded from our lives and no one can be trusted

I am a child of 1968, the world it has found a brand new sound

I am a child of 1968, a hazy shade of winter all around

This is the year the sixties dreams were dying

Insanity it takes control as the body count keeps rising

This is the year the innocents were corrupted

Love has faded from our lives and no one can be trusted

This is the year the sixties dreams were dying

Insanity it takes control as the body count keeps rising

This is the year the innocents were corrupted

Love has faded from our lives and no one can be trusted

I am a child of 1968

I am a child of 1968

I am a child of 1968

I am a child of 1968
