The Barclay James Harvest - Fifties Child lyrics

rate me

Love was a lesson we tried to learn

There were no exams to pass or fail

Only heartbreaks, renew our faith

Life was a lesson we've tried to learn

There were no tests to pass, no license to gain

Only win or lose, renew our faith

Renew our faith, let us see

Fifties child was right to believe

Peace and love were our needs

The need to be free

War is a lesson we've had to learn

We had to learn to kill, to destroy and burn

But our spirits cry, renew our faith

Peace is a lesson we've yet to learn

A prize for all mankind who race for the gain

Of love and harmony, renew our faith

Renew our faith, let us see

Fifties child was right to believe

Peace and love were our needs

The need to be free

Renew our faith, let us see

Young and old we're right to believe

Peace and love are our needs

The need to be free
