Living by the ideals of a day gone by
Is a very hard thing to do
Every time that it starts to fade
My mind drifts back to you
With your day-glow mentality
And hard-core reality
And the smile in your eyes
When you start to get high
And drift away
You were the one who put us on
This path we lead today
Taught us how to nurture love
Just to give it all away
Taught us how to laugh at life
And live a better way
To turn the darkness in our souls
To a sunny day
It's winter in the garden now
And nothing else will grow
You have to sit and meditate
On everything you know
The spirit, it's not missing
It's just planted for the spring
It takes the right vibration
To make that prayer-bell ring
Now that the years have come and gone
We live by day-to-day
Trying to get by by wearing a smile
You know it's the only way
But I can't forget the way it was
Or how it could have been
With everyone there
Learning how to care
It was serene
Now living by the ideals of a day gone by
Is a very hard thing to do
But every time that it starts to fade
My mind drifts back to you
With your day-glow mentality
And hard-core reality
And the smile in your eyes
When you start to get high
And drift away
Drift away
Drift away
