    Past the stars in fields of ancient void,
    Through the shields of darkness where they find,
    Love upon a land a world unknown
    Where the sons of freedom make their home
    Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves
    Leave them to their future in their grave
    Make a home where love is there to stay
    Peace and happiness in every day.

    I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
    How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

    However I love that song and it's lyrics very much, I don't think that line is typical hippy.

    True, it's not TYPICAL hippie... but I think it talks about people who try to establish a society of ''peace and happiness'' leaving behind ''Satan'' wich we could compare to war, junk media, etc.
    Sounds hippie to me but whatever. I thought it would be interesting for ariciia to have a non-typical version of peace and love...

    Yeah, you got a point there.


    Those lyrics of Black Sabbath are from 1971, weren't there still a lot of hippies in those days? Surely more than in 1961, for example. And there are more albums from that year that are associated with the hippieculture. I put one more of Sabbath here that could be considered hippie:

    Children of the Grave

    Revolution in their minds
    The children start to march
    Against the world in which they have to live
    And all the hate that's in their hearts
    They're tired of being pushed around
    And told just what to do
    They'll fight the world until they've won
    And love comes flowing through.

    Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
    Will the sunrise of tomorrow bringing peace in any way
    Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear
    Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

    So you children of the world, listen to what I say
    If you want a better place to live in spread the word today
    Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave
    Or you children of today are children of the grave.

    They don't need to be song lyrics or poems, right? If not, try going to the library and looking through books written in that time period. There will be plenty of text in books (obviously!) that might otherwise remain unknown to you.
