THE LIVING YEARS – MIKE & THE MECHANICS CLASSIC HITS SONG LYRICS

Mike & The Mechanics song, The Living Years, has lyrics that are about when someone comes of age, through discovering the power of debate and reason, that is then tuned with feelings - of what you ornately know.

I had forgotten the song existed. I am glad I remembered.

May we always have the courage to “open up a quarrel between the present and the past,” so new generations can breathe.

The lyrics are quite profound for me today. A reminder to make the most of it. :)
