My Generation

MY GENERATION

I was there when the Challenger blew
I was there when Oliver North gave his speech
I was there to greet President Reagan
I was there to when J.R. was shot

I was there to wonder about the sexuality of Boy George
I was there to sing along to We Are the World
I was there to see E.T. get home
I was there when everyone wanted to be like Mike

I was there when Captain EO saved the galaxy
I was there to ride the Viper
I was there to dance the Electric Slide
I was there to fall in love with a mermaid hand drawn

I was there to cheer on the troops in the desert
I was there to mourn Diane
I was there to vote for Clinton the second time around
I was there to fall in love with a spice named Baby

I was there to travel back with Marty McFly
I was there to discover Titanic
I was there to want to belong to someone
I was there to leave my mark

I was there to see the end of the old world
I was there to welcome the new one
I was there for all those things
And I will be here for many more
