We were sitting in the sun

Waiting for the bands to come

We’ve been waiting in this summer heat

For so long

 

Then there was Richie

Singing freedom songs

Then there was Richie

 

There were people all around

Laughing sitting on the ground

We all knew something new

Was going on

 

Then there was Richie

Singing freedom songs

Then there was Richie

 

Did you see all of our friends?

Sea of faces never ends

I have never felt so

Very, very free

 

Then there was Richie

Singing right to me

Then there was Richie

 

Hold my hand while we dance

We are giving peace a chance

How I wish these days would

Never ever end

 

Then there was Richie

Then there was Richie

Then there was Richie
