"The Time Is Now" lyrics

"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
There ain't room for anyone
For anyone, anyone
For everyone

When all of the tables are turning
All of the bridges are burning
Can't keep a heart that is hurting from breaking down

But if we are the times that are changing
If we are the lessons we're learning
If everyone's someone worth saving
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 turning
All of the bridges are burning
Can't keep a heart that is hurting from breaking down
But if we are the times that are changing
If we are the lessons we're learning
If everyone's someone worth saving
Then the time is now

Generations pass on right and wrong
The children they cry
How long, how long
'Til justice flows like a river
When justice flows like a river

Generations pass unrighted wrongs
Their children cry
How long, how long
'Til justice flows like a river
When justice flows like a river

All of my tables are turning
When all of my bridges are burning
Can't keep a heart that is hurting
From breaking down
But if we are the times that are changing
We are the lessons we're learning
If everyone's someone worth saving then the time is now
The time is now
Yeah the time is now
