Watching the curve of the earth as it turns and we're ringside Witnessing history all in a blink of a lifetime See how the story repeats if we're powerless to fight apathy How can we expect our children to change the world? We were there when the curtain was ready to fall And Reagan told Gorbachev to take down that wall And the man on the Moon took that first step for all Times like these bring out the best in us We were there in the days when the Woodstock Nation Turned music and mud into a celebration United as one in a place called trust Times like these bring out the best in us Watching the arc of the battle of hearts and we're front row Ego and greed taking more than we need, it's a side show If we can't learn from the past, we’ll make those mistakes again and again How can we expect our grandchildren to lead the way? We were there, we were there when the COVID disease Drove us into our shelters and down to our knees When those at the top were deaf to our pleas Dark days like these bring out the best in us We pass the baton to the next arm out in this relay race we run We’re counting on you to carry the torch when at last your time has come You'll be there, you'll be there to do it your way It’s your generation, it’s your first day Tell the ones in charge, enough is enough Times like these bring out the best in us You’ll learn to stand proud You’ll be there when you’re free All around the Lady of Liberty This is a test, it’s your legacy Dark days like these bring out the best Good times like these bring out the best Times like these bring out the best in us
