It's About Time
 
 

THERE'S A FULL MOON
OVER INDIA AND GANDHI
LIVES AGAIN
WHO'S TO SAY YOU HAVE TO
LOSE FOR SOMEONE ELSE
TO WIN
IN THE EYES OF ALL THE
PEOPLE THE LOOK IS
MUCH THE SAME
FOR THE FIRST IS JUST THE
LAST ONE WHEN YOU
PLAY A DEADLY GAME
IT'S ABOUT TIME WE
REALIZE IT WE'RE ALL IN
THIS TOGETHER
IT'S ABOUT TIME WE FIND
OUT IT'S ALL OF US OR
NONE
IT'S ABOUT TIME WE
RECOGNIZE IT THESE
CHANGES IN THE
WEATHER
IT'S ABOUT TIME, IT'S
ABOUT CHANGES AND IT'S
ABOUT TIME

THERE'S ALIGHT IN THE
VATICAN WINDOW FOR ALL
THE WORLD TO SEE
AND A VOICE CRIES IN THE
WILDERNESS AND
SOMETIMES HE SPEAKS
FOR ME
I SUPPOSE I LOVE HIM MOST
OF ALL WHEN HE KNEELS
TO KISS THE LAND
WITH HIS LIPS UPON OUR
MOTHER'S BREAST HE
MAKES HIS STRONGEST
STAND

IT'S ABOUT TIME WE START
TO SEE IT THE EARTH IS
OUR ONLY HOME
IT'S ABOUT TIME WE START
TO FACE IT WE CAN'T
MAKE IT HERE ALL ALONE
IT'S ABOUT TIME WE START
TO LISTEN TO THE VOICES
IN THE WIND
IT'S ABOUT TIME AND IT'S
ABOUT CHANGES AND IT'S
ABOUT TIME

THERE IS A MAN WHO IS MY
BROTHER, I JUST DON'T
KNOW HIS NAME
BUT I KNOW HIS HOME AND
FAMILY BECAUSE I KNOW
WE FEEL THE SAME
AND IT HURTS ME WHEN
HE'S HUNGRY AND WHEN
HIS CHILDREN CRY
I TOO AM A FATHER AND
THAT LITTLE ONE  IS MINE

IT'S ABOUT TIME WE BEGIN
IT TO TURN THE WORLD
AROUND
IT'S ABOUT TIME WE START
TO MAKE IT THE DREAM
WE'VE ALWAYS KNOWN
IT'S ABOUT TIME WE START
TO LIVE IT THE FAMILY OF
MAN
IT'S ABOUT TIME, IT'S
ABOUT CHANGES AND IT'S
ABOUT TIME
IT'S ABOUT PEACE AND IT'S
ABOUT PLENTY AND IT'S
ABOUT TIME
IT'S ABOUT  YOU AND ME
TOGETHER AND IT'S
ABOUT TIME
