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
