“Preserve the land and save the seas for the children of destiny / The children of you and me,” Young sings on the track. “Stand up for what you believe / Resist the powers that be / Preserve the ways of democracy so the children can be free.”

A 56-piece orchestra; in total, 62 musicians played on the track.

Let your freak flag fly, baby….
