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
