Like in 1968 Songtext
von Moddi

See the kids, how they play
Dress up in your clothes
From 1968
Hear the songs, how they sound
Like the ones you played
Back in 1968

I′ve seen it in the pictures
The flowers, the parades
The hope you held
The mess you made
You sigh and say
"In my day"
As if your days are done
Well you're still here
But something is gone


Once you were fierce and fought for the world
Where you once kept compassion you now keep your pearls
With your eyes tightly shut it′s easier to cope
With news feeds like dark, twisted kaleidoscopes
But more than ever we need someone who can teach us to hope
You surely remember the fire in your chest
The yearning for change and the longing to protest
The summer that felt so never ending

Look all around you, so little has changed
It's the same old struggles just by different names
Oh I know 50 years may have passed since then
But it's never too late to start caring again
Sometimes it feels like we′ve forgotten how to dream
Like wanting peace and love is shameful and naive
But nothing can stop us as long as we just dare to believe
So dust off your passion, there′s no time to hesitate
Let us show them that flowers will always beat the hate
We'll start small and dream big like in 1968
Like in 1968, like in 1968
