| A Time For Change |
|
Words and music by Matthew S. Donowick Do you wake up in the morning and feel grateful, for all the good things that you have Do you think about the ones who aren’t so fortunate, does it make you kinda’ sad Do you understand the words of the prophets, and all the wise things that they say Does it bother you to think about the future, does it make you wanna pray? Chorus: How many times must we cry for the children How many tears must we shed for the land How many people must die alone and lonely Before we realize its time to change our plan Do you feel like your life has a purpose, do you just roll with the game Do you feel like the barriers are breaking, is it driving you insane Do you feel sometimes like you are being lied to, does it make you kinda mad All the secrets in the world won’t give you answers, to all the questions that you have Chorus There are some things we can do to change the situation, we can start by looking at ourselves though the mirror of the mind may show a bright reflection, there’s dusty bottles in the background on the shelves Do we need to consume all the things that we do Can we simplify and change our ways for good If we keep an open mind then an open heart will follow And our purpose will be better understood Chorus How many species must go extinct forever How much more hatred can this little world sustain How many bombs must we drop on our neighbors Before we cry out of our shame |
