Peace like a river ran through the city 
Long past the midnight curfew 
We sat starry-eyed 
Ooh, oh,we were satisfied 
Oh, when I remember 
Misinformation followed us like a plague 
Nobody knew from time to time 
If the plans were changed 
Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed. 

You can beat us with wires 
You can beat us with chains 
You can run out your rules 
But you know you can't outrun the history train 
I've seen a glorious day 

Four in the morning 
I woke up from out of my dreams 
Nowhere to go but back to sleep 
But I'm reconciled 
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while 
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while 
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while
