lyrics

There Comes A Time

Capo 5
Verse: G D | G D | G D | C
Ch: D G | A |

There comes a time when the universe reminds us
That we’re all one together in our lives
The here and now shows us everything and how
Tells us what we’re all about, what’s on our minds

Do we care?
Do we share in what’s between us?
You aware?
Of who they’re killing in your name
Is it fair
That the billionaires are dealing out our share
In bailouts, bonuses and bribes?

You know it’s true that what’s real depends on you
Depends on everything you do here in your life?
Are you one of them or equity your friend?
Is every body equal in your mind?

If they’re not
Then someday you’re gonna answer
As you squat
Trying to keep what you thought was yours
But its not
It’s that illusion that you cling to, you forgot
You were never one of them

There comes a time when the living folks align
Stand up versus what’s over the line
This is our time
Yes it’s yours and mine
No more living with the crime that comes when greed is unchecked blind
With love to find
