What would follow

What would follow Piling in the back seat of a ’74 Firebird Toking jamming tunes best I ever heard Crammed together laughing; now I cry Putting it all into words is hard but I’ll try Once we were people frozen in time, shielded from tomorrow Enjoying the thrill of our todays with no worry what would follow Grew up and apart from the back of that old car Though some live close, the distance seems so far Philosophical and political rifts it seems, created a big wedge Some came closer together, while some just went off the edge Once we were people frozen in time, shielded from tomorrow Enjoying the thrill of our todays with no worry what would follow I think back and wish there was a way that I could reach But every time I put my pen to paper all I do is preach I think something must be done, to fix our yellow brick road Oz is talking stupid ,and I’m worried that it all could explode Once we were people frozen in time, shielded from tomorrow Enjoying the thrill of our todays with no worry what would follow Now my thoughts turn to the days ahead and what it will mean For the next set of kids like us, will the sky be blue, the water clean? Will the streets where we used to play be safe for everyone? I don’t know, but I sure hope they can have half as much fun Cause, once we were people frozen in time, shielded from tomorrow Enjoying the thrill of our todays with no worry what would follow Tim Windisch 10/18/2023
