Signs of Time

With a whisper it speaks With a clatter it chimes From the days to the weeks from the lows to the peaks It's the sign of the times All the memories and tears All the mountains we climb From all those we still fear to all those we hold dear It's the sign of the times When some rise to their best When life stops on a dime When we're put to the test from the East to the West It's the sign of the times From the things we adore From musicians to mimes From the things we abhor from poverty to war It's the sign of the times
