Generation Away

If I was the summer, I'd wanna be '69

I'd be chillin', listenin' to Dylan, holdin' up a peace sign

And if I was a prison, I'd wanna be Folsom

Johnny Cash'd be rockin' that black

Singin' to the stripes and kickin' out all the lights

Hey, what can I say?

I hope they talk about us that way

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Than right here makin' history

Hey, what can we do?

Here we are, it's me and you

So let's take all the pictures we can take

For the generation away

Come on

Well, if I was an old car, I'd wanna be a Mustang

American-made with a white ragtop on a blue-sky kind of day

And if I was a preacher, I'd wanna be Dr. King

Oh, I know he's up there smilin' down

'Cause we all still have a dream

Hey, what can I say?

I hope they talk about us that way

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Than right here makin' history

Hey, what can we do?

Here we are, it's me and you

So let's take all the pictures we can take

For the generation away

Let's make some memories while we can

Laugh and love, don't miss your chance

'Cause He's still got the whole world in His hands

So, baby, let's dance

Yeah, I'm singin', hey, what can I say?

I hope they talk about us that way

Raise your voice and have no fear

Let 'em know that you were here

Singin', hey, what can we do?

Here we are, it's me and you

So let's take all the pictures we can take

And let's make all the memories we can make

For the generation away

Oh He's got the whole world in His hands

He's got the whole world in His hands

He's got the whole wide world right in His hands

So, come on now, everybody, just dance

Got the whole world in His hands

He's got the whole world in His hands

He's got the whole wide world right in His hands

So sing out loud and wave your hands

Got the whole world

Got the whole wide world (The whole wide world)

Oh, yeah

Now, everybody in the party

Everybody in the place

Come on and put your hands up

Come on and put your hands up

Oh, no, oh, yeah

If you feel good

Oh, you feel good

Sing it out loud now

Sing it out loud
