When do you know it's time to change?

Will it be too late to grab at the rain?

Will the fire run wild and abandoned?

Will I still look down at my shoes?

I have everything I need to paint a brighter day

I have everything to gain and everything to lose

A day when I will fly into the sun

Where darkness has no place

I can see it's time to change.

When will we know it's time to change?

When congressmen mix oil with blood

When psychopaths unload their guns

On a foolish child waiting in turn

To pick up an ancestral curse.

I have everything I need to paint a brighter day

I have everything to gain and everything to lose

A day when I will find a better way

Where violence has no place

I can see it's time to change.

We have everything we need to build a better world

We have everything to gain and everything to lose

A world where no man fears his brothers

Where sisters walk hand in hand

There's a greater plan

It's time for change

Can't you see that it's time for change

I can see it's time to change.
