once there was a time

Singer:cowsills, the

once there was a time we cried

never settle on a nine to five

but now if you lead we will follow

once there was a time we cried

won't find us walking in a suit and tie

and now if you lead we will follow

now the light appears and the cause

comes through loud and clear so we'll all

join the leader

help the leader

once there was a time we moaned

oh lord

bring our soldier boys back home

but now if you lead we will follow

now the light appears and the cause

comes through loud and clear so we'll all

join the leader

now we know when we're old

that our children

will approach us

and they'll say which way to go

and they'll say which way to go

and they'll point in our direction

now the light appears and the cause

comes through loud and clear so we'll all

know the light appears and the cause

comes through loud and clear so we'll all

know the light appears and the cause.
