Searching in the distance
For a shining city on a hill
For I was told in days of old
That it would be there still
But what I see is killin’ me
It tears right at my soul
Just enemies of liberty
Now victims they are called
The people can’t communicate
No language as a glue
And the communists in Hollywood
Who tell you what to do
But things were so much different --
Chorus:
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
He was the Gipper, he had the knack
He took a bullet and he still came back
In The Days That Reagan Ruled!
In The Days That Reagan Ruled!
He was an honest man with a simple dream
A dream we should hold true
When he met with Gorbachev, he stood firm and proud
Not like other men, who would’ve knelt down and bowed
All his rivals couldn’t stand the plot
But he destroyed our greatest enemy - without a single shot
Negotiate, yet dominate; peace through strength he’d say
No hostages he’d let you hold, not for a day
Things were so much different --
Chorus
California was still the Golden State
Our culture we could celebrate
Our First Lady still had some class
No race-baiters talking all of their trash
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
Things were so much different
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
Chorus
Tearing down an iron wall
Acting in his greatest role
Made all his critics look like fools
‘Cause even jelly beans were cool!
