Clouds of music rained songs of peace and freedom
Brother sister strangers gathered in congregation
Free love echoed on astral mystic planes
Lay down your arms, sang the flower child generation
A stone of love caused ripples in the river of time
3 days in 69

Lovers listen, wrapped tight inside a blanket
A friend drove them to Woodstock, talked bout his tour in Vietnam
They had marched for freedom, sang a change is gonna come
Dancing with the earth, they planted peace out on Yasgur’s farm
A stone of love caused ripples in the river of time
3 days in 69

Then Monday morning brought electric sunrise
Amplifying dreams they dreamt in Monterey
Like dancing leaves in the autumn moonrise
They looked for answers as the wind led the way

Now Clouds of darkness, cast shadows of hollow prophets
Brother sister strangers argue bout which truth is true
The child of God follows freedom of his soul
Biding the time ’til inner peace reveals what to do
A stone of love caused ripples in the river of time
3 days in 69
