For All of Us

We were the girls in the bell-bottom pants,
Remember the songs? Oh, how we danced
‘til the sun came up, we laughed and talked
Fringes and beads, we flowed when we walked
Through meadows of flowers, picked for our hair
That’s Where It’s At, it was there

This is for you, and for all us
For that summer’s day when we got on a bus
And headed on down to Yasgur’s farm
Dreaming of love and the boys in the bands
We made it as far as the Hardwood Lands…

I’ll remember for you, you remember for me
and that’s who we’ll be, we’ll piece it together,
While we rock in our chairs and sip our tea, and that can be forever

We were the girls in the bell-bottom pants,
Blazing the trails, we gave peace a chance,
Now the burdens and pains and battle scars,
But all that we carry is not who we are,
Losses and loves, wounded and healed,
We fight the good fight, we leave it all on the field!

I’ll remember for you, you remember for me
and that’s how it will be, we’ll piece it together,
While we rock in our chairs and sip our tea
That’s Where It’s At, it was there,
We were there together, and that will be forever.
