7. Ivory Towers I remember yesterday The circus came to town The gentle giant's toppen the bill Supporting were the clowns I remember Africa Where millions all roamed free And little kids drew pictures Only innocence could see Oh how we've grown since those Crazy childhood days All the mountains that were climbed And the journeys that were made Tell me did we change the world? Will we still live in our ivory towers While they're staring down the barrel of a gun Will we still build all those ivory towers And make believe that we did the things we should have done Do you remember 68, a time of love and peace? A generation born in hope All those promises to keep I saw you standing on the streets last night You looked so all alone Are you still searching for that peace of mind? Will they find their way back home? Oh how we've grown since those Crazy childhood days All the mountains that were climbed And the journeys that were made Tell me did we change the world? Will we still live in our ivory towers While they're staring down the barrel of a gun Will we still build all those ivory towers And make believe that we did the things we should have done Were the tears we shared in vain? There's a millionreasons to ask What it's all about Hear the echoes of the past ring out There's another way And though the times are changing now The spirit of our youth still lives In the heart of the few Though the sings remind us of a fading memory But there's no way back Will we still live in our ivory towers While they're staring down the barrel of a gun Will we still build all those ivory towers And make believe that we did the things we should have done
