These Are The Changes Songtext

"24 month ago nd yesterday in the memory of America The centre of NYC became a battlefield And a graveyard and a symbol of an unfinished war" These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes the day brings These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes the day brings These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes "Like it or not we live in times of danger and uncertainty That is the way he lived That is what he leaves us My brother need to be idolised Or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life Be remembered simply as a good and decent man Who saw wrong and tried to right it Saw suffering and tried to heal it Saw war and tried to stop it" "We must recognise that ending the war Is only the first step towards building the peace All parties must now see to it that this is a peace that lasts" These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes the day brings These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes the day brings These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes "I have asked for this radio and television time tonight For the purpose of announcing that we today have concluded An agreement to end the war And bring peace with honour in Vietnam" Know me, see me, try to understand me Why, you ask These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes the day brings These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes the day brings These are the changes the day brings us These are the changes "I know that over the years many of you have seen the pictures and news clips of the wall that divides Berlin, but believe me, no American who sees first hand, the concrete and mortar, the guard posts, the machine gun towers, the dog runs and the barbed wire can ever again take for granted his or her freedom or the precous gift that is America."
