Wandering down memory lane

Man, I'm so old. The first song I learned the complete lyrics to was "Leaving on a Jet Plane". I think I was four or five. I know my parents and I were still living on Shawnee Lane in Trumbull.

I still remember all the words. It was on the radio so often when I was a kid, the lyrics just stuck with me.





Where's the music of the protest movement? Shit, for that matter... where's the protest movement?







I couldn't find a video of PP&M doing one of their songs that's been stuck in my head for days now, so here's the lyrics:

Tell me why you’re crying, my son
I know you’re frightened, like everyone
Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?
Will it help if I stay very near?
I am here.

Refrain:
And if you take my hand my son
All will be well when the day is done.
And if you take my hand my son
All will be well when the day is done.
Day is done, day is done
Day is done, day is done

Do you ask why I’m sighing, my son?
You shall inherit what mankind has done.
In a world filled with sorrow and woe
If you ask me why this is so, I really don’t know.

(refrain)

Tell me why you’re smiling my son
Is there a secret you can tell everyone?
Do you know more than men that are wise?
Can you see what we all must disguise
Through your loving eyes?

(refrain)
