A Time For Change

A life to be born While a generation sworn To corruption and passivity Tolerance is a novelty Empty minds are filled with lies Using acceptance as a disguise They preach it doesn’t matter how you live The line has been blurred, something’s got to give The blindness tells us we’re all free But no one lives to what their meant to be Chained down by the belief that everyone’s right Discouraged to stand up and fight the good fight It doesn’t matter the choices we make We’re the ones in charge of deciding our fate As we follow this path of moral destruction The truth crumbles away in a violent eruption The frailty of man comes up to the surface As we lose sight of our God given purpose As we move our world falls apart We’re killing souls and losing heart When did it become wrong to be right? Why are we silent when it’s time to fight? It’s time to turn from darkness and step towards the light But we give into pressure and back away in fright Souls are lost as time continues to count down But courage and integrity are nowhere to be found Desperation gives way, and the clock counts on A yearning in our hearts say a new time has dawned A time to break down the walls and say what’s true A time to say it matters what you do
