The Great Sixties Escape (Parts 1 to 3)
1. Turn On
A change has come
The children rise
Their open hands
Reach for the skies
The generation
Gap has grown
The nest has gone
The birds have flown
Their voices call
Out in the street
In unison
They move their feet
The marching tunes
Have all but gone
The time is now
For turning on
2. Tune In
Upon their clothes
Bright flowers grow
The hippy vibe
Begins to flow
Music expands
Washed on a tide
As hair grows long
And minds grow wide
Free concerts come
On summer days
The parks are filled
With those who laze
Free love arrives
To live in sin?
The time is now
For tuning in
3. Drop Out
And worlds away
A war is fought
The draft dodgers
Are rarely caught
Communes arise
Across the land
The blacks and whites
Walk hand in hand
Authority
And parents shocked
The governments
And ‘thinkers' mocked
A summer of love
The children shout
A final chance
For dropping out
