A folk song, written in late 1979, about the rise and fall of the New Left Movement of the 1960s.
(chorus)
The World of Freedom
The World of Love
If you fight for both, it will surely come.
(verses)
The wave flows out, then the wave flows in;
A new decade, it now begins. (chorus)
It seems so long and yet so short;
When we last kissed, when we last talked. (chorus)
We searched for truth looking high and low;
And one day found we were not alone; (chorus)
Justice, he fled from wolves who ruled;
Equality, she hid there, too. (chorus)
They burnt us out, they cooled us down;
I felt despair and heard no sounds. (chorus)
I've waited for so many years;
But some spirits try to sing again. (chorus)
