Of course time catches up with everyone eventually, unfortunately, but it's still possible to experience the song vicariously, I do and I'm 74.
I think a noisy revolution is not what she means more an increase in awareness amongst the people growing up now to make the world a better place, fat chance of that LOL, but it's a lovely dream.
It's a good idea to keep dreams alive even if you know they will never actually happen so as to be a bit optimistic about the future.

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
