about
A song about a perfect day with a seldom seen friend, reminiscing about shared activism for peace and justice. Yes, even though the world is a mess we can still enjoy each other.
lyrics
It was a splendid, magnificent, enthralling, phenomenal,
Spectacular, dazzling day
And you were brilliant and charming
Insightful and considerate
As the time we'd been apart fell away.
"It's been too long", you said
"You haven't aged a day"
Still it's true that what we stood for hasn't changed,
No more wars. Peace and justice
No more wars. Peace and justice
Everyone takes pictures now
Not just the CIA
And rubber bullets, gas masks and pepper spray
Once the cops wore cotton shirts
And we could see their faces
It was a splendid, magnificent, enthralling, phenomenal,
Spectacular, dazzling day
And you were brilliant and charming
Insightful and considerate
As the time we'd been apart fell away.
We didn't win
But we did our noble best
To make a world
Of love and peace and trust
No more wars. Peace and justice.
No more wars. Peace and justice.
It was a splendid, magnificent, enthralling, phenomenal,
Spectacular, dazzling day
And you were brilliant and charming
Insightful and considerate
As the time we'd been apart fell away.
