|
Well I can hear the trumpets blowing, screaming out the end of time |
|
Look around and listen and you'll see every sign |
|
The waters are polluted as the forests are cut down |
|
Bombing and drilling deep below the ground |
|
Check the prophecies from around the world |
|
And look around now as it all unfurls |
|
Look into yourself and see what goes on |
|
Get a feeling in your heart of the right from wrong |
|
Because the earth needs to be respected |
|
Been far from too long that she's been neglected |
|
Race against race, such a foolish waste |
|
It's like cutting off your nose to spit your face |
|
And at the end of the wars, what was the cost? |
|
It's clear that the earth was the one who lost |
|
We are one with her as she is one with us |
|
It's unreal how she is treated so unjust |
|
As our planet grows smaller each and every day |
|
Everyone affecting everyone in every way |
|
We're all citizens of the world community |
|
All here together and we're searching for unity |
|
Over the years, |
|
I've grown and changed so much |
|
Things I know now years ago, |
|
I couldn't touch |
|
There are things |
|
I've done that |
|
I wouldn't do again |
|
But I'm glad that |
|
I did 'cause |
|
I've learned from them |
|
I just try to stay present right here, right now |
|
No worries, no fears and without any doubts |
|
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time |
|
It's about time, it's about time' |
|
Cause in these times, these changing times |
|
A transition is occurring and |
|
I am not blind |
|
As the pendulum swings a new age we enter |
|
And with every swing, it draws closer to the center |
|
Yes the storm before the calm and the wars that lead to love |
|
Things must run their course so we push and we shove |
|
But we're here to work it out in one way or another |
|
To find a mutual respect for ourselves and one another |
|
And the true key is a trust in self |
|
For when I trust myself, |
|
I fear no one else |
|
I took control of my life, just as anyone can |
|
And I want everyone to see it's in the palm of your hand |
|
Yeah, the past is gone, the future yet unborn |
|
But right here and now is where it all goes on |
|
I know we can fix it and it's not too late |
|
I give respect to |
|
King and his nonviolent ways |
|
I dream and |
|
I hope and |
|
I won't forget |
|
Someday I'm going to visit on a free |
|
TibetSomeday |
|
I'm going to see us all joined as one |
|
And it would be too bad to blow it up before we're done' |
|
Cause we long behind the rage learning from the pain |
|
The love behind the tension like the sun behind the rain |
|
I'm sending loving light to all that is |
|
To all creation and the life we live |
|
I'm not preaching bullshit, just speaking my mind' |
|
Cause I'm here now and it's about time |
|
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time |
|
It's about time, it's about time |
