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
