It is Time

'It is Time' 

Mm mm mm mm mm
One foot in front of the other.

Mm mm mm mm mm
Eyes down, heads locked.

Mm mm mm mm mm
Minds all consumed with none.

It is time.

Time to get our heads out of the dirt.
Time to lock each other down, brothers and sisters.

It's time
It's time
It's time

It's time to bond together 
Time to hasten our march
Time to walk with actual direction
So we can ALL end up at the same destination.

It's time to rebuild our bond
It's time to lift each other up as one.
It's time to stop getting lost.

Mm mm mm mm mm
Some will stray
In love with the mirage of comfort.

Mm mm mm mm mm
They ran out of time.
Like Tubman, leave them behind.

It's time!
It's time!
It's time!
It's time!
