Lyrics of The Past

Once while walking, just walking about
I came upon a crowd, I could hear the people shout
They were protesting the war's disaster

Why? why must mankind fight?
For no reason and no end in sight
Yet no one had an answer

They just chose to close their eyes
To the woes, corruption and lies
To let their lives just go on faster

My mind started to drift...and then
I could remember way back when
Everybody was my friend
So long ago in the past

We were all here
The night was so clear
We felt the moment would last

The music would begin
We would all join in
So long ago in the past

Oh, I won't give in
No, I won't give in
I'll just keep living
Living in the past
