The Time Is Now
The good ole days are gone in the past where they belong
Turns out they weren't so good for everyone
Tear down this house of stone I built to stand alone
'Cause there ain't room for anyone, for anyone, for everyone
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of the bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
I grieve the things I see, brothers found as enemies
White-knuckled disbelief in everyone
Oh, Land of Liberty shines bright enough for me
When will she shine that same light on everyone, on everyone?
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of the bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
Generations pass un-righted wrongs
The children cry, "How long? How long
'Til justice flows like a river?
Let justice roll like a river"
Generations pass un-righted wrongs
The children cry, "How long? How long
'Til justice flows like a river?
Let justice roll like a river"
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of my bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But if we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
Oh, the time is now
Yeah, the time is now
Turns out they weren't so good for everyone
Tear down this house of stone I built to stand alone
'Cause there ain't room for anyone, for anyone, for everyone
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of the bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
I grieve the things I see, brothers found as enemies
White-knuckled disbelief in everyone
Oh, Land of Liberty shines bright enough for me
When will she shine that same light on everyone, on everyone?
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of the bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
Generations pass un-righted wrongs
The children cry, "How long? How long
'Til justice flows like a river?
Let justice roll like a river"
Generations pass un-righted wrongs
The children cry, "How long? How long
'Til justice flows like a river?
Let justice roll like a river"
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of my bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But if we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
Oh, the time is now
Yeah, the time is now
