Let me ask you a question Tell me no lies My friends you see Are your alibis Now tell me Do you ever think Of the life that you live When you live it Do you really give it All you can give I ask you this Because the time is so near No woman no cry No living in fear Lift up your head Now you must stand tall 'Less you won't be around To see Babylon fall
Pre-Chorus All we really wanna see The time for change has got to be All we really wanna see The time for change has got to be All we really wanna see The time for change has got to be All we really wanna see The time for change has got to be Now!
I can see that it's time In our lives to change things Never been so clear as it is today
Good people now hear this You got to show love Please stop all the violence The push and the shove All we really wanna see Is peace in our days Freeing the people Of their evil ways I don't want to live a life Of constant struggle Still people everyday Are in a state of trouble Let us enjoy the life That we have been given Avoid all the strife If we keep on living
Pre-chorus
I can see that it's time In our lives to change things Never been so clear as it is today And if this time I am right Soon the world will be changing As one nation We'll see a brighter day
Buildings are burning Pages are turning Yet nobody really wants to deal with it The graveyards are filling Because of the killing Yet nobody really wants to deal with it There's drugs in the cornfield And blood on the windshield Yet nobody really wants to deal with it We're losing the best With one shot to the chest And nobody really wants to deal with it
I can see that it's time In our lives to change things Never been so clear as it is today And if this time I am right Soon the world will be changing As one nation We'll see a brighter day
