Songtext
0:10Back in nineteen sixty three
0:13We walked a fine line
0:19We were taking to the streets
0:21Skating on a thin dime
0:26We were searching after truth and beauty
0:31Now they turn it into late night movies
0:35How can I explain
0:40That it's not the same
0:42Guess you had to be there to be where
0:47Love belonged to everyone
0:51Flowers in the long hair we stood there
0:56Singing "We shall overcome"
1:00Knowing the eyes of the world were on us
1:05Knowing the whole world cared
1:08Guess you had to be there
1:18In the summer of our youth
1:21We came together
1:26And we knew that our truth
1:29Would live forever
1:35We were gonna make the whole world honest
1:39When a bullet got the bravest of us
1:43Somehow nothing else was sacred
1:47And we all stood naked
1:50Guess you had to be there to be where
1:55Love belonged to everyone
1:58Flowers in the long hair we stood there
2:03Singing "We shall overcome"
2:08Knowing the eyes of the world were on us
2:12Knowing the whole world cared
2:16Guess you had to be there
2:25Now we listen to the news
2:28And it seems all hope is gone
2:34Everybody feeling used
2:37And there's nowhere left to run
2:42Sometimes it feels like the memory
2:46Is all that's left of our used-to-be
2:51But what can never be denied
2:54Is the way we changed inside
2:58Guess you had to be there to be where
3:03Love belonged to everyone
3:06Flowers in the long hair we stood there
3:11Singing "We shall overcome"
3:16Knowing the eyes of the world were on us
3:20Knowing the whole world cared
3:23Guess you had to be there to be where
3:28Love belonged to everyone
3:31Flowers in the long hair we stood there
3:36Singing "We shall overcome"
3:41Knowing the eyes of the world were on us
3:45Knowing the whole world cared
3:48Guess you had to be there
Back in nineteen sixty three We walked a fine line We were taking to the streets Skating on a thin dime We were searching after truth and beauty Now they turn it into late night movies How can I explain That it's not the same Guess you had to be there to be where Love belonged to everyone Flowers in the long hair we stood there Singing "We shall overcome" Knowing the eyes of the world were on us Knowing the whole world cared Guess you had to be there In the summer of our youth We came together And we knew that our truth Would live forever We were gonna make the whole world honest When a bullet got the bravest of us Somehow nothing else was sacred And we all stood naked Guess you had to be there to be where Love belonged to everyone Flowers in the long hair we stood there Singing "We shall overcome" Knowing the eyes of the world were on us Knowing the whole world cared Guess you had to be there Now we listen to the news And it seems all hope is gone Everybody feeling used And there's nowhere left to run Sometimes it feels like the memory Is all that's left of our used-to-be But what can never be denied Is the way we changed inside Guess you had to be there to be where Love belonged to everyone Flowers in the long hair we stood there Singing "We shall overcome" Knowing the eyes of the world were on us Knowing the whole world cared Guess you had to be there to be where Love belonged to everyone Flowers in the long hair we stood there Singing "We shall overcome" Knowing the eyes of the world were on us Knowing the whole world cared Guess you had to be there
