Sergey Golos Drugogo Take Me Back to the USSR (Where Everything Is Simple)

Take me back to the USSR
Take me back to the USSR
To where the sunrise was brighter than gold
Take me back

The courtyards rang with children’s play
No walls or limits in our way
We saw the light in every face
A simpler life a kinder place
The world was honest soft and bright
Before the shadows dimmed the light

Take me back to the USSR
Where honor was our guiding star
Where we would dream and we would love
With peace below and blue above
Where quality was soul and heart
The world from which we had to part

The knowledge free the future clear
A life of work without the fear
The summer sea was open wide
With all our brothers by our side

Take me back to the USSR
Where honor was our guiding star
Where we would dream and we would love
With peace below and blue above
Where quality was soul and heart
The world from which we had to part

The scarlet tie upon my chest
The fire of youth within the breast
Oh tell me time — where did it go
The giant land I used to know

Take me back to the USSR
Where honor was our guiding star
Where we would dream and we would love
With peace below and blue above
Where quality was soul and heart
The world from which we had to part

The honest songs the faithful friends
The memory that never ends
Take me back
My home country
