1985
by Tim Dillinger

Album: The Baton 1985

There was something in the air
A boldness and a courage to dare
An unconventional stance
A realization, a reason to dance
I saw Him shine in your eye
Once in a lifetime, trains in the sky
It was an era divined
I still hold it so clear in my mind
I never thought it would end
The music was so much more than a trend
A world of ears that could hear
Such stubborn love in a valley of tears

(Chorus)
We moved on so long ago
To watch the seeds we planted grow
A harvest ready to rise
We need the spirit alive
Our future eyes aligned oh, oh, oh
Suffered pain you'd never know
Scars we wear but never show
A harvest ready to rise
We need the spirit alive
Like back in 1985
In 1985
In 1985
The truth and not a lie, we cry give life
Give us life

Verse 2:

Now there's a chill in the air
A form or fashion, locked in a square
Such a demand to conform
Know your lines, go out & perform
I'm tired of living in gray
Let's live in color—each and every shade
Calling the unguarded hearts
Bash in the code, it's a brand new start

I'm gonna come out the box
Don't wanna hear no crying rocks
I'm gonna wear brave new shoes
I'll be the spark that lights the fuse
