The Time Is Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The good old 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 [Chorus] 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 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 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 [Bridge] Generations pass unrighted wrongs Their children cry, "How long, how long?" 'Til justice flows like a river Let justice roll like a river Generations pass unrighted wrongs Their children cry, "How long, how long?" 'Til justice flows like a river Let justice roll like a river [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Oh, the time is now Yeah, the time is now
