Story behind the song

Lyrics
YOUNGER DAYS
words & music by Paul Wilson

Versei)
Heard a young girl sing about 3000 hurricanes,
About the state of affairs in our world today.
She sang about loss of freedom, and lack of faith,
How our heroes are all dying along with courage and strength.
And it takes me back to a place in time...
Younger Days.
Verse 2)
She sang about the war we are in so far away,
About the ones in our front yards where our children try to play.
Said if she were God looking down on us today,
She'd cry enough tears to send 3000 hurricanes our way,
And it takes me back to a place in time...
Younger Days.
Chorus)
When the Chimes of Freedom,
Were Blowin' In the Wind.
And Highway 61 was re-visited with friends.
And the Masters of War swore God was on their side,
While they hid behind their wall and lied and lied
It takes me back to a place in time...
Younger Days
Now I sing songs about love, laughter, and tears,
And things I remember from my last ten years.
It takes a young girl with a voice so soft and low,
And a message so true it puts me in awe of what she knows,
And it takes me back to a place in time...
Younger Days
Bridge
And I wonder where we went wrong,
Where the Amber waves of grain and purple mountains gone.
I know God is looking down on us today...
Will he cry enough tears to send 3000 hurricanes our way?
And it takes me back to a place in time...
Younger Days.
Chorus)
And the Chimes of Freedom
Are Blowin' in the Wind.
And The Times They Are A Changin' out on Desolation Row my friend.
And the Master of War swear God is on our side,
As they hide behind their walls and lie, and lie, and lie.
It takes me back to a place in time...
Younger Days, Younger Days
Yeah take me back to a place in time...
Younger Days
