[Verse 1]
Oh, peace like a river ran through the city
Long past the midnight curfew we sat starry-eyed
Oh, we were satisfied

[Verse 2]
Oh, and I remember misinformation followed us like a plague
Nobody knew from time to time if the plans were changed
Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed

[Bridge]
You can beat us with wires
You can beat us with chains
You can run out your rules
But you know you can’t outrun the history train
I‘ve seen a glorious day, ahee
Hee

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Oh, four in the morning I woke up from out of my dreams
Nowhere to go but back to sleep but I’m reconciled
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
