Mr. Moorlach has given me permission to initiate a junior ROTC program here at the school.

Why do I get the impression you don't like me?

On the contrary, I like you very much.

I don't like what you stand for.

The answer, my friend, is going in the wind.

Oh, the answer is going in the wind.

I'm gonna sit here until they let us do our show.

Hey, I'm gonna live forever.

I'm gonna learn how to fly.

I'm feeling common together.

People will see me and cry.

Hey, I'm gonna make it to heaven.

Light up the sky like a plague.

I'm gonna live forever.

Baby, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember.

You got big dreams.

You want fame.

Well, fame costs.

And right here is where you start pain and sweat.

I wanna live forever.

Baby, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember.

And that's why I think nursing is such a rewarding profession.

And I would certainly hope that when you guys graduate from the School of the Arts,

that some of you would consider it as your career.

Thank you.

Well, thank you, Miss Gimble.

That was certainly inspiring.

And now for our final speaker of the day, Master Sergeant Joe Garver.

Thank you.

I want to talk to you today about a career in the armed forces, why I chose it,

and why I think you should give it serious consideration.

Aside from the privilege of serving your country, the armed forces will offer you a challenging career,

a chance to learn a trade, and the opportunity to travel.

And for those of you who might be interested in the military career, Mr.

Morlock has given me permission to initiate a junior ROTC program here at the school.

You see, I'm a stinger, and when I graduate, it's gonna be real slow moving.

So I figure, you know, I look for a job during the day, and at night, I help him put out fires.

What do you think?

I think it would really be good to be a stewardess.

The only thing is...

I'm sort of scared to death of life.

It's not that I'd ever consider giving up the Sousaphone, but I like the idea of being a leader of men.

Well, of course, you know, you'd have to start out as a private.

Well, General Patton probably didn't start out as a General.

Really, Mr.

Morlock, career day at the School of the Art.

Most of our students have already chosen their careers.

And the ROTC, how did you come up with that one?

But what we're offering here is preparation for a career alternative.

Let's be honest.

Statistics prove that less than one percent of these kids are gonna wind up and show business around.

We're gonna be out there pounding the pavements, looking for work.

Except for you, Schwartz.

I mean, with your talent, you're sure to be part of that one percent.

Well, if not, I can always list and join the wax.

Well, there is special services in the armed forces.

You could entertain for the troops if you'd like.

Doesn't Bob Hope sort of have that all sewed up?

Schwartz is what used to be rude.

Well, it's all right.

I can take it.

Can you?

What do you have against the United States Army, Miss...

Schwartz.

My brother was a conscientious objector.

You'd probably call him a traitor.

And you're proud of that.

I thank God every day.

I'll try to understand.

She feels very personal in your office.

Well, you know, Miss Sherwood, I feel very personal about it, too.

I was a dog soldier in Vietnam.

It was kind of hard to stay there with the bullets and the mortar flying all around,

knowing that some of your buddies back home were on their way to Canada.

We should look at this rifle drill.

It was a marching exercise.

Man, Moloch lost his mind.

Check out the uniform.

Man, they couldn't pay me to do this stuff.

Really?

I mean, when's Moloch gonna give up?

He's been hitting on all of us for days, still ain't got one single recruit.

Well, I have to admit, I thought about it.

Then I was afraid it would interfere with my social life.

You've got a social life?

What was the guy told?

Well, it looks like you're really cut out for the ROTC program now.

Well, if I was, I'd like to have you guys in my outfit.

We can see who laughed then.

Well, as it happens, you all are all in my outfit this morning.

I don't think there's gonna be too much laughing.

All right, people, let's hit the center floor.

We're gonna have a little midterm test today.

Oh, look, I shall say, shall say, shall say, arabesque.

Arabesque?

You're a best, babe.

That's lovely, Nicole.

Nice, Jess.

Run, run, run, and touche a tay.

Touche a tay.

Jump, baby, jump.

Oh, twice.

What am I gonna do with you, baby?

Did I fail?

What are you doing down there, men at home?

Dancing, sir.

Well, dance back onto your feet.

I've got an announcement to make.

Now, people, you all know you have to maintain a sea average to perform in the school shows.

But what you may not be aware of is you get a grade if you participate in a junior ROTC program.

Now, that's an extra grade credit, which...

Which we can apply to our overall average?

You'll be getting to catch on, men and all.

Miss Grant, as of right now, what's my grade in this class?

D plus.

That's the same grade I'm getting in drama class.

Mr.

Moorlach, you just got your first ROTC recruit.

Well, welcome to the outfit, Mendenhall.

Glad to be in the outfit, sir.

Oh.

What's this?

These are your test results on George Orwell's 1984, I'm afraid.

She's afraid.

Oh, man, I got a T.

What did you get clear of?

I ain't saying it.

Don't be too upset, Leroy.

Nobody broke any records on this one.

Say that again.

B plus.

You're going to have to work a little hard in the cover if you want to get an A.

Miss Sherwood, I don't think...

Pop quizzes are constitutional.

Is this gonna affect our grade average?

Yeah.

She knows that if we drop below C average, we can't be in any of the school shows.

Now look, we've been through this before.

I know that the shows are important to you, but English is part of your education as well.

People!

Well, round one, two, and twenty more lines.

This all seems so silly.

I don't know about silly, I think it's scary.

Whoa, man.

It's just the pits.

It's all, George.

All those folks.

Yeah, this drill is never starting to get to me, man.

I feel kind of stupid.

I've been feeling stupid.

You know, this is a real drag.

Quiet in the ranks!

Aw, lighten up Dwight.

I'm telling you, ain't nobody any in no real General Patton.

Hey, I said quiet in the ranks!

Aw, man, quiet yourself, man.

All you doing is giving me a headache.

Come on, Dwight Lee.

This is taking it too serious.

Relax, okay?

Yeah, man.

You know what?

You're stupid, I'm stupid,

we're all stupid War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is

stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War People fill the world with narrow

confidence Like a child at birth A man with no defense What's mine is my own I won't give it to you No matter what you

say No matter what you do Now we're biting in our hearts Biting in the streets Oh,

somebody help me Oh War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is

stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War Mine is far behind In search of

something new Like a feeling sign We're burning witches too This world of hate Let me do it For you You can do what you

say And if that's what you do Now we're biting in our hearts Biting in the streets Oh,

somebody help me War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is

stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War War war War war War war War war War war

War war Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk

Back in your ranks

Ready?

Front!

All right.

Get out of these, guys.

Relax.

Now, I know this program is voluntary,

and I know that this is an unusual school for junior ROTC to be in in the first place.

Nevertheless, if we're going to do this, we're going to do it the right way.

Because the bottom line is we're doing this for a reason.

Now, some of you may think this whole thing is a joke.

The country's not at war.

You're all a year or two too young to be in the army.

Your lives revolve around Saturday night dates.

We're getting the lead in the school play, and that's all well and good, fellas, really.

But think about this.

The world could change for you tomorrow.

Each and every one of you could be called on to serve, to keep this country safe, to protect yourselves, your families,

your homes, and this way of life.

If that happens, gentlemen, I assure you it's not going to be a joke.

So, Dwight, what are some of the other things we're getting this ROTC?

Then if you want to go on to college, you can apply for an ROTC scholarship.

That way, when you go into the army, you go in as an officer.

Man, I'll tell you what's tough, man.

Joe Goff is one tough dude.

You hear some of his stories?

What do you see as a matcha, man?

He took over three hills all by himself.

Have you seen the medals that he has?

He's got, like, a purple heart and a silver star.

Hey, how many tons was he doing?

I don't know, man, but I don't think he wants to talk about that.

That's a brave dude.

I'll tell you one thing.

If I had to go in the battle, I sure would love to follow him.

Me, too.

Hi, guys.

Hi, sir.

Hey, how are you, Joe?

How you doing?

It is all right if we call you Joe, right?

Sure.

How long can you guys show up tomorrow?

Yes, sir.

Let's get some room.

You're quite a hit.

Here.

Do you mind if I join you?

Looks like you already have.

Too bad you weren't here a few seconds ago.

You missed your tribute.

Tribute?

You're a hero to these kids.

Tell me, Sergeant Garvert, did you really take three hills single-handedly?

Well, I had some hell.

And you weren't scared?

Not even for a minute?

I don't think there was a minute I wasn't.

Why do I get the feeling you didn't convey that to your troops?

Why do I get the impression you don't like me?

On the contrary.

I like you very much.

I don't like what you stand for.

That's funny.

I kind of feel the same way about you.

Saved by the bell.

I have to get to my next class.

Miss Sherwood, would you like to break K-ration sometime?

What time?

Tonight?

Say, uh, twenty-hundred hours.

My place.

I'll make the chow.

Great.

There's only one thing, you know, that could spoil an otherwise perfect evening.

Understood.

No politics.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.

What are you saying?

I love war?

I hate war.

I've been there.

I know what it is.

And why are you filling their heads with all that paranoia?

That's exactly the kind of thing that causes war.

Those kids don't have any idea what's going on out there in the real world outside of their classroom.

And the world's a dangerous place.

They know that.

Do they?

You know, I don't think they even believe in anything except having a good time.

That's not fair.

They're young.

Are they?

And where were you when you were their age?

Protesting the war that you were fighting in.

Oh.

Well, at least you believe in something.

What do they believe in?

Show business?

Half of them don't even know there was a war.

The other half don't even care.

They're apathetic, Elizabeth.

Apathetic.

No more politics.

Please.

All right, everybody.

This week we're going to talk about the poetry of the sixties.

What, the 1860s?

Nope.

The 1960s.

Well, what parts were around in the 1960s?

Well, we'll start with Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan?

He's a singer.

I like to think of him as a poet.

A poet who chose to express himself through music.

Many of our finest modern poets do.

Listen.

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.

The answer is blowing in the wind.

Wow, that's a tough number to dance to, huh?

Don't make jokes, Dan.

That song touched you.

It touched all of you.

Why?

What do you think it says?

I know what it's about.

It's about peace.

It's about the futility of war.

He's saying that peace is the only answer, and that it's out there, that we just have to reach out and grab it.

It's out there blowing in the wind.

I don't think that that's what he's saying, Schwartz.

I think you're reading way too much into it.

Chris, what do you think?

It was a guy singing about his own feelings.

It was, uh...

It was...

It was a gold record, and it was depressing.

Music should be fun.

Music should be a lot of things, Jesse.

But one of the things it is, it's reflective of the spirit of its times.

Now, you see, in the 60s, we knew our times were serious, even dangerous.

I am so glad I didn't live in those times.

I may have a hard enough time trying to keep a sea average and take care of myself.

How about the world, Leroy?

The world could take care of itself.

Can it?

You see, the poets of the 60s didn't think so.

I mean, look at Joan Baez.

Her music changed people's lives.

It changed the way they thought.

It changed the entire course of history.

Joan Baez, she was, like, into anti-war, right?

You bet she was, before it was easy, before it was popular.

Miss Sherwood, why are you laying all this 60s stuff on us?

Yeah, it's whack.

It's, like, really boring.

Boring?

When I was your age, we thought we could change the world.

And you know something?

We did, a little bit.

Well, you're like what?

Like civil rights?

Like people marching on Washington's?

I mean, a bunch of people got their head bashed in for what?

Nothing's changed.

We got the war stopped.

We made real strides in civil rights.

And if you don't think it's enough, Leroy, is that any reason to stop trying?

Some of us just don't believe in protesting, Miss Sherwood.

I mean, I think that if there's something you don't like, you should try and change it within the system.

I mean, let's face it.

The man always wins.

Amen.

I wouldn't say always, Leroy.

You're kidding yourself, Miss Sherwood.

Nothing's gonna change.

We can make all the noise we want, and nobody's gonna listen.

Do you think the President or Congress cares what we think?

No, they're gonna do what they want, and we gotta live with it, if we're lucky.

Well, maybe they're right.

No, they're not.

all my life I never could figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up well the reason why I never could decide was

because well I wasn't sure that I would grow up sometimes I sit by my window doing my homework or something I look out

at the sky and I just start to think what if I saw one of those mushroom-shaped clouds out there I mean in a matter of

seconds everything will be over with am I the only one who's ever thought like that here Thank you.

Sir, how's things going with you and the Duke?

We don't much have to buy wedding presents.

Oh, he's available then.

Lydia, something really exciting happened in my class today.

The kids have come up with a wonderful idea for a show.

When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars then peace will guide the planet and love will steer

the star.

This is the dawning of the Aquarius A double Aquarius Aquarius What's going on?

Rehearsal for a show Collection Rehearsal for an anti-war show More specifically,

the benefit for the nuclear field Your answer to the ROTC program I'd say the battle for the hearts and minds has begun

Let us worry us When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars then peace will guide the planet and

love will steer the star.

This is the dawning of the Aquarius A double Aquarius Yes, yes, I will certainly register your complaint.

Thank you.

School of the Arts.

Yes, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

I...

Same to you, buddy.

School of the Arts.

Listen, I'm pro-nuke myself.

No, what I mean is, I don't want a nuclear war any more than the next fella.

But I think this freeze business is a lot of hood.

Have a nice day.

Miss Grant, Mr.

Sharofsky, how about giving me a hand?

These phones have been ringing off the hook for the past hour.

What's going on?

What the hell do you think's going on?

People hate the idea of using this school for a nuclear freeze benefit.

It's more like I'm sure there's plenty of people.

Why aren't we hearing from them?

Because when they're like it, they don't bother the car.

Don't answer that.

We're just gonna take all the phones off the hook for the next hour till this thing cools down.

Isn't anybody gonna answer that?

Be my guest.

Let's go to the art.

I see.

I see.

Well, I'll convey your message to the vice-principal.

Thank you for calling.

Nuclear free seems to be a hot issue.

Picked up on that, did you?

Miss Sherwood, I don't think I'm gonna be able to be in the show.

Why?

Well, you know I've been busy with all that ROTC and all my classwork and stuff.

Danny, and all the time I've been here,

I've never heard a student ask out of a production because he had too much homework.

So it was the first time?

I guess so.

Sherwood, I can't do this.

I like you too much to lie to you.

You see this thing?

My father has a lot of problems with this nuclear-free stuff.

And he thinks we're just kidding ourselves that if we stop making bombs, that the Russians are gonna do the same thing.

I seem to recall your father as opposed to a lot of things you do in this school, being a student here for one.

That's true.

That's never stopped you before.

That's true too, but this time I happen to agree with him.

We'll miss you in the show, Danny.

Yeah.

All right, try this one.

Now you've got the enemy flanking you on your left.

And you got him flanking you on your right and you get to see it you're back in other words gentlemen you're surrounded

now What do you do?

I?

Say we get the hell out of there fast I'd say that's an act of cowardice dumpling.

I would attack I would ask for um the artillery time to give me ground coverage,

and I'd move forward enemy We never expected because we're on demand very good.

I'm a total right that sounds good.

I'd attack too Man, and then I would retreat I'd go get some other troops,

and we'd come back to fight another day You can't wait wait a minute.

You can't retreat you get to see it.

You're back remember What about the ships no ships?

No ship too messed up.

No ships.

What about our air support?

Couldn't we call in our air support?

It's a good idea We just bombed the heck out of the guy.

What the hell?

You're crazy.

That bomb's going to be never going to work, right?

You're talking about having two or three different sizes.

I can't believe you guys.

Schwartz, what is your problem?

You're my problem.

What are you talking about?

If we're doing a benefit for the nuclear freeze and you're still wearing those stupid uniforms.

Hey, come on, Doris.

You know nobody's taking this seriously.

We're just doing it for the credit to get our grade averages up.

Could've fooled me.

Women.

I can't expect them to understand the damage.

You're just having fun.

Yeah.

Fun.

Yeah.

Oh, your war is fun.

Hey, let's go.

Why don't you come up with a plan to talk?

Well, I'll tell you.

Listen, guys.

I put myself in a situation in which Napoleon will be.

And what came to me was...

One, two, three, you have to fight.

One, two, three, you have to fight.

What are you saying, Mr.

Moorlach?

Do I have to spell it out for you?

You've seen the picketers.

You've heard the phone calls.

The whole situation's getting out of hand.

It's an important show.

It's necessary for the kids.

They have to learn to take some responsibility for their futures.

Just do me a favor.

Give up the show.

Why?

Because you don't agree with it?

No.

You leave my political beliefs out of me.

See, the show itself has become a disruptive force, and it doesn't create a proper environment for the kids to learn.

What do they learn?

If I do as you ask when the going gets rough to give up the fight.

Oh See there isn't any fight.

I don't have to get your permission to do anything.

I can jerk this show myself You can do that Of course if you do that you lose an English teacher,

I know that That's why we're having this conversation See I've made my decision But before you make yours Consider this

What possible good can you do these kids?

You're not here Now before you hand in your resignation You might want to give that some fun There's something

happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I've got to beware I

think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being wrong And nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people

speaking their minds Are getting so much resistance From behind time we stop Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down One, two, three One, two, three One, two, three, four,

three Is this what it was like in the sixties?

there is a rush of greatness Who knows what stands in front of our last night bash And my future on films in space

Silence tells me secretly everything Everything, everything Manchester, England,

England Manchester, England,

England Across the Atlantic Sea And I'm a genius genius I believe in God And I believe that God Believe in God And

believe And believe And believe Oh,

that's the silence With sharp luck And one another sharp regret Walking by me always across Wearing smells from a lab

of stories Basing a dying nation Lydia, what were you doing in the sixties?

Probably the same things you were doing, Elizabeth,

in different places for different reasons Do you feel you've lost your sense of commitment?

About what?

When I started this, it was because I thought the kids were apathetic But you know something?

I've become apathetic,

too I've been going along thinking we fought our battles It's the younger generation's turn to take up the torch

Elizabeth, it's never time to pass the torch because the battle never ends Amen, sister Miss Sherwood,

what are you rehearsing?

I'm looking after our little chat that you'd have Just a minute, Mr.

Waller It's beautiful, Lydia It's everything it needs to be Miss Sherwood, what are you doing?

Just one last bit of business before I turn in my resignation Let the sun shine Let the sun shine in The sun shine in

Let the sun shine Let the sun shine in The sun shine in Let the sun shine Let the sun shine in Let the sun shine in Oh,

yeah, sure, when I opened up my mouth, I didn't want all this to happen.

It's not your fault, Manny.

You have to do what you believe in.

Yeah, right.

Miss Sherwood, what do you think you're doing?

What does it look like I'm doing, Mr.

Murloc?

I'm protesting.

Why don't you put that sign down and get back into school?

Does that mean you let us do the show?

No.

See you around, buddy.

What do you want from me?

I want you to let us present the other point of view.

Well, I wish I could do that, but I don't think it's in the best interest of the school.

Move over, girls.

I'm handing in my resignation suit.

No, you're not.

Nobody else.

What are you talking about, Elizabeth?

These feet are made for more than just dancing.

You know, I've lost at the best of them.

Yeah, I know that, but Lydia, this wasn't an easy decision.

But Murloc made a good point.

When I'm out here, I'm not doing our kids in there any good.

Yes, you are.

You're setting a great example.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but while I'm fighting on the outside, we can have somebody fighting on the inside.

With me?

That you, girl.

Get on back in there.

Is give peace a chance.

Gentlemen, these objects in front of you are not guns.

They are not rifles.

They are .22 caliber.

Bolt action.

Weapon.

Respect them.

If you're ever in a combat situation one day, weapons such as this may, in fact, save your life.

What are we supposed to do with these?

You're gonna drill with it.

You're gonna, in fact, learn to use it.

It's part of the first-year program, marksmanship, safety.

Now.

Sergeant.

Yes, Mr.

Mendenhall.

I've had a lot of fun the last couple of weeks.

I've enjoyed drilling.

marching leading my men but this I don't think I want to get comfortable with this Thank you.

Come in, Nita.

Well, guys, Amatullo, are you going to walk too?

Thank you.

Hey, we're just kids.

All right, class.

Come to attention.

Let's take our seats.

People, I will be teaching this class in the absence of Michelle Wood.

And if you would, please tell me, what were you studying when she left?

Poetry of the sixties.

Bob Dylan.

Oh, Bob Dylan.

Well, I think you can safely call him a poet.

We were discussing how he expressed himself through his music.

Yeah, like blowing in the wind.

I mean, it wasn't fun, but it said something.

Yeah, it said something about peace, you know, that's what he wanted, so he took a stand.

Well, actually, Leroy, he sat down.

Sat down?

A lot of people did, including me.

Miss Grant, you sat down?

I had to.

Well, why?

For better education, the right to go to ballet class, even to go to the movies.

That whole sitting idea, that was Martin Luther King's, right?

Yeah, Dr.

King.

I think you could safely call him a poet, too.

He was the first American leader to implement the sit-in as a method of social change in this country.

And actually, he got the idea from Hot Magandhi, the concept of passive resistance.

That's kind of like not fighting back, right?

Well, Danny, there's many ways you can fight back.

You can throw a punch or a brick or pick up a gun.

Or you could sit very still and hold on very tightly to your inner convictions and try to change the world that way.

Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because of vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I

was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence In restless dreams I

walked alone What are you waiting for?

For that We're going to sit here until they let us do our show When my eyes were stamped by the grace of a neon light

We split them by and touched the sound of silence And in the maybe light I saw Ten thousand people,

maybe more People talking without sticking People hearing without listening People writing the songs That voices never

shake I don't know what this is going to work to us We've been sitting here for hours Yeah What do we do now?

We sit some more Alright kids Now this is just silly It may seem silly to you Mr.

Morlock but it is not to us How long are you going to keep this up?

As long as it takes Okay, I know how you feel, but you know what's going to happen?

You're all going to get tired, your parents are all going to get worried, and in the end,

you're all just going to go home.

Don't count on it.

Okay, I understand.

You want Miss Sherwood to come back.

We want more than that, Mr.

Morlock.

We want the right to say something about our futures.

Well, I don't think you're going to get it this way.

Well, I do.

Move over.

I thought you won the war, Elizabeth.

Did I?

There was no more ROTC at the school.

All my recruits walked out, don't they?

Joe, this fight wasn't about the ROTC.

It was about something much bigger.

And I'm not so sure I won.

You were right about the kids, their apathy.

I just wanted them to understand that the future belongs to them.

It's their inheritance.

but they have a right to it.

See, I don't think anybody's got a right to a future they're not willing to fight for.

I don't either, but you and I believe in fighting in different ways.

Well, I believe if there's nothing that men are willing to die for,

they're not gonna end up with much worth living for.

It's just my opinion.

You're entitled.

Joe, for the record, there are things I'd be willing to die for.

I know that.

I see a round soldier.

We're here at the School of Arts where the students are staging a sit-in.

It reminds this reporter of the turbulent sixties when protests like this happen daily.

What's all this about?

Um, they've told us that we can't hold a benefit for the nuclear freeze at our school.

And why is that so important to you?

Because our futures are the thing.

I think we have a right to it.

Yeah, we got a right to it.

That's right.

and we learned that from my English teacher.

She quit her job over it.

So she's watching this.

We sure, we just want you to know that we learned more than just conjugating verbs.

If Ms.

Sherwood is watching, we hope that she come and sit down here with us.

Because we're gonna win.

We're gonna sit here until we win.

That's right, until we win.

We're gonna sit right here until we win.

Excuse me.

You can just set a brand new spot.

Take a picture of this.

Take a picture of this.

In some of this activity over here, especially these people here.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Why are you going in there?

Um, Elizabeth Sherwood.

I used to teach English there.

Do you know what's going on in there, Ms.

Sherwood?

I think I have a good idea, yes.

Do you know that John Baez is a senior at the University of New York?

He saw us on the news and came down to join in the protest.

Does that surprise you?

When you think about it, not really.

It's okay.

I'll sell it through.

Thank you, Mr.

Marla.

Well, I'm glad you're back, but I still have to change my mind.

Mr.

Marla, that may have lost the battle, but I think I won the war.

Come on.

I want you to hear this woman sing.

How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?

How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?

And how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind.

Oh, the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times can a man look up before he can see the sky?

How many years must one woman have before she can hear people cry?

Yes, and how many deaths will it take till we know that too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind The answer, my friend,

is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind We are the future!
