The '68

Made us value well-used words
Entertained with how things work
Made us think of well-kept homes
Where life is better

Celebrated small platoons
Took apart the words and things
Mapped a road to where we are
And why this matters

Below the window in the sixty-eight
No move from there to the divine
The shake up just enough to desecrate
Love rescued from the flow of time

Shelter us from vale of tears
Care about the disappeared
Wrote the book of where we are
And where things matter

Understand and trust the past
Heard the work as breaking glass
Loved what has been good to us
When we were better

Below the window in the sixty-eight
No move from there to the divine
The shake up just enough to desecrate
Love rescued from the flow of time

Freedom comes and loses God
He removed the silver cord
Angel passes overhead
Did we know better

Music sang to everyone
Told us we were not alone
Artist who expected more
From all that matters

Through broken windows in the sixty-eight
A wiser man was looking back
The stronger will was set to desecrate
Fiction more impressive than the facts

Understand and trust the past
Heard the work as breaking glass
Loved what has been good to us
When we were better
