Born at a time

BORN AT A TIME

(W Duncan / R Watson / R Reid)

Born at a time when hopes ran high

Expectations floated swansdown from the sky

We were the chosen but not the few

We were the many to recreate the world anew

	We had such love we had such schemes
	We had such faith we had such dreams
	The power to change the way ahead
	Or so we thought but maybe we were being led

They pinned their hopes their hopes for peace

On love and sense to slay the beast

And yes, we tried we worked and fought

But in the end the way was harder than we thought

Did we succeed, or did we fail

Did we lose hope through life's travails

Did we advance, progress a little way

Or did we waste our time in living for today

It was a time When hopes ran high

Expectations floated swansdown From the sky

We were the chosen but not the few

We were the many who would build the dreaming world anew
