Lyrics Sunrise (August of '69) - Venice

Sunrise in South California (August of '69)
Somehow the clock kept ticking
The earth kept turning fine

How could it happen? Everything changed that day
Thunder and lightning crashing down like waves
Couldn't undo it, or make it all go away

Shadows rearranging
As the guard was changing
In the strange cruel world we found
A life upside down

Sunrise in South California (August of '69)
Somehow the clock kept ticking
The earth kept turning fine
A new dawn A line was drawn
Left the old world far behind
Sunrise (August of '69)

Out of the ashes, embers began to glow
Out of the madness, a river began to flow
A Golden Age, a chosen few would know

Shadows rearranging
As the guard was changing
In the brave new world we found
A love underground

Sunrise in South California (August of '69)
Somehow the clock kept ticking
The earth kept turning fine
A new dawn A line was drawn
Left the old world far behind
Sunrise (August of '69)
