One May One 1975

May First, nineteen seventy-five,
On a corner in Boston, feeling so alive.
Handing out leaflets for the labor side,
Proud of the cause, full of working man's pride.
Then he came up, a spark in his eyes,
A man from the shadows with news and good vibes.
‘Hey, did you hear? There’s change in the air!
Helicopters flying, so much to declare!’

[Chorus]
Oh, that corner, the energy was raw,
Voices rising, like wildfire and war.
Celebration in chaos, we danced on the street,
A revolution brewing, feel the rhythmic beat.

[Verse 2]
He bear hugged me tight, felt the whiskey on his breath,
In that anxious moment, it was life or death.
News from across the sea, man, we were alive,
In the heart of the struggle, we learned how to thrive.
Pushed off the deck, like the past left behind,
A decade of reign, blind experts confined.
The images flashed, like a storm on the rise,
A headlong flight, where the truth never lies.

[Chorus]
Oh, that corner, the energy was raw,
Voices rising, like wildfire and war.
Celebration in chaos, we danced on the street,
A revolution brewing, feel the rhythmic beat.

[Bridge]
From the pavement to rooftops, the whispers grew loud,
Dissent in the alleys, pride in the crowd.
We won’t be forgotten, we’ll hold our own ground,
In the heart of the struggle, solidarity found.

[Verse 3]
Later that night, visions danced in my mind,
A world turned upside down, liberation undefined.
Those infallible experts, left spinning in doubt,
The streets filled with voices, hear the people shout.
So here's to that moment, to the spirits set free,
On a corner in Boston, where we dared to believe.

[Chorus]
Oh, that corner, the energy was raw,
Voices rising, like wildfire and war.
Celebration in chaos, we danced on the street,
A revolution brewing, feel the rhythmic beat.

[Outro]
May First, we remember, the fire in our souls,
In the heart of the struggle, together we roll.
Handing out leaflets, standing up tall,
On that corner in Boston, we answered the call.
