Define Your Times

Define your times
What do you stand for

Are we at war
Or is it a time of peace

Can you speak out loudly and clearly 
Or do you just sit and simmer away

Are you in control of your life
Or do you just take the easiest path

Does your righteous voice
Speak out in shame at what is being done

Do you hold onto the truth 
Or do you speak loudly above all others

What side are we on
Or doesn’t it matter when you win

How can we be righteous 
When you can’t be sure of anything.
