Our Songs - Desert Rose Band

I know things are different then they were in '65

When the music came from the heart and kept our thoughts alive

With the songs we were singing we tried to change the world

Oh, how can we sing our songs

We marched on alabama, we died in ohio

We were the restless generation and now we’re in control

Of the younger ones, who are hungry for things of this world

Oh, how can we sing our songs

Let us sing our songs the way they’re meant to be

Our troubles and trials in three-part harmony

The road is paved with gold, if you do all that you’re told

Oh, how can we sing our songs

Now we are older and we’ve raised our families

And our young sons are reaching out for something they can’t see

They can’t hear it on the radio or watchin' mtv

Oh, how can we sing our songs

Let us sing our songs the way they’re meant to be

Our troubles and trials in three-part harmony

The road is paved with gold, if you do all that you’re told

Oh, how can we sing our songs

How much do we compromise in what we want to say

How much creativity did we loose along the way

We tried to shape the world like a sculptor with one hand

Oh, how can we sing our songs

Let us sing our songs the way they’re meant to be

Our troubles and trials in three-part harmony

The road is paved with gold, if you do all that you’re told

Oh, how can we sing our songs

How can we sing our songs
