Festival Song

We showed up to the festival
and fell out of the back of the van
We were just in time to see our favorite band
All the people out there looked just like us
They were young and old, they looked just like us
Remember that beat, remember that song
It never felt so good to sing along

I was wondering why it felt so good
Then I looked into a dozen pair of eyes
and I understood: When we all come together,
it feels like the world is going to be alright.

In the middle of the night by the fireside
you played my favorite song
We shared a smoke and we beat the drum
"Oo wee baby won't you ride me high?"
I saw you dance under the new moon light
From Tennessee to Yasgur's Farm
We'll wake up in each other's arms.

I was wondering why it felt so good
Then I looked into a hundred pair of eyes
and I understood: When we all come together
it feels like the world is going to be alright.

When we left the festival
we were crying in the back of the van
It could have been the drugs
It should have been your band
To all the people out there:
Travel safe and take good care
and if someone falls won't you pick them up
and take care of those who overfill their cup
and get nice and dirty, see that no one's hurting
don't wear to many clothes
get some sunshine on your soul
don't be a glass hole, and watch those ashes
and pick up your trashes
and in the long, long lines
look into each other's eyes

and spread that love all around the world
and we'll see you next year at the festival

I was wondering why it felt so good
Then I looked into a hundred pair of eyes
and I understood: When we all come together
it feels like the world is going to be alright.
