The Sign of the Times

The Sign Of The Times Abortion on demand when will we understand We can't get by from just sticking in to the man There are riots filled with hate in our street This is not a good place for people to meet Having lines being drawn in the sand War zones we call schools the people's tool Walking zombies with tombstones in their eyes Does all of this come at a big surprise It used to be a custom to hold open a door for a neighbor Today we skip school just to taste a different ice cream flavor The tender the soul getting lost in rock & roll Our ancestors were right with blood, sweat & tears in a strife We are the tool of the government & industry to The hand writing is on the wall so stand up maybe ten feet tall Love should be the essence of one's eternal existence Within a caged fury a text message was sent We as a nation haven't even made a significant dent To struggle each day to provide the legal tender Is it any wonder we got too much time on our hands One soul soars while the other will soon to burn A heros message through the lavender breeze Run to Jesus for he has what's true & fun No need for nuke's & the stolen gun Sweltering heat with bloodshed in our street Bring the troops home no good reason for them to roam It's the sign of the times the handwriting is on the wall Pray for your neighbor spread the word from one to all
