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
