So you thought hope was gone
There was no reason to carry on
I can't just leave it alone
Take a step back
It's time to elevate your thinking
Tell me what you're thinking
You thought you were alone
You were the only one with eyes
Just look around
That looks like hope to me
We've got hope
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
We're seeing change
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
Keep taking action
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
This resolve won't fade
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
More than just hope
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
Real change
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
Keep on taking action
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
The resolve won't fade
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
When fables and fairy tales
Stare you in the eyes
There's no chance you'll forget
It's engraved in stone
Flowing fountains
In the park, on the street, everywhere
Even mountains
Embedded in your everyday
So deeply rooted, can't get away
What!? That too!? I never knew what that meant
I say we've got a lot of hope
I say we've got a lot of hope
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
We're making changes
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
Keep taking action
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
And this resolve will not fade
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
More than hope
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
Real, real change
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
We keep taking action
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
The resolve won't fade
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
We've got it, we will not be silent
Keep taking action
'cause action leads to change
Get things the way they need to be
And when opposed
We'll fight it
'til it's righted
We've got hope
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
We're seeing change
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
Keep taking action
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
This resolve won't fade
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
More than just hope
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
Real change
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)
Keep on taking action
(We've got time, we can't afford silence)
The resolve won't fade
(We've got time to save some lives, yeah)

Things are trending up
Things are trending back
I'll make up my own mind
based on the facts
Now, these facts will form a tale
I'm meant to see
So I will skip away so happily
La da da-da da da
La da da-da ooh oh
La-da, da-da, da-da, da-da ooh oh
Are we gonna do it?
Oh yes we're gonna do it!
We're gonna stay alive and we're gonna get through it!
It's time to play for keeps!
Ah, this time we'll play for keeps!
Can't be counted out
Hot on this path
We can no longer blindly deny the math
Now, we can go on this way
But what will we have
A future shattered mirror of our past
That would be sideways
(we might've, might've thought we learned our lesson though)
I'd hold my head askew
And question every view
That would be sideways
(we might've, might've thought we learned our lesson though)
We might have thought we learned a costly lesson from our past
But I don't know
Are we gonna do it?
Oh yes we're gonna do it!
We're gonna stay alive and we're gonna get through it!
It's time to play for keeps!
Ah, this time we'll play for keeps!
So much now
On the line everyday
No wonder if they'll work it out
Hear them say
Are we gonna do it?
Oh yes we're gonna do it!
We're gonna stay alive and we're gonna get through it!
It's time to play for keeps!
Ah, this time we'll play for keeps!

Sunlight

First hint of sunlight
That's just when I rise
Pray nothing tragic will befall me on this day
As I proclaim things just can't stay this way
(repeat)
You tell me that really, really understand
Hey, well I doubt it - I really doubt it
No cause, just effects
Seems like legalized murder to me
We're gonna shout it
You've been outed
First hint of sunlight
That's just when I rise
Pray nothing tragic will befall me on this day
As I proclaim things just can't stay this way
(repeat)
All we're asking
Is due respect
That must be a lot to ask
And if the present, is future-cast
Looks too much, too much like the past
...and the camel's back breaks
Have done no-thing
May-be just be
Stand strong like trees
Roots deep won't leave
First hint of sunlight
That's just when I rise
Pray nothing tragic will befall me on this day
As I proclaim things just can't stay this way
First hint of sunlight
That's just when I rise
Pray nothing tragic will befall me on this day
As I proclaim things just can't stay this way
This day just feels right
I pray that any harm that comes for me today
Will be held up just like a mirror in your face
First hint of sunlight
This day just feels right
I pray that any harm that comes for me today
Will be held up just like a mirror in your face
This day just feels right
I pray that any harm that comes for me today
Will be held up just like a mirror in your face
First hint of sunlight
This day just feels right
I pray that any harm that comes for me today
Will be held up just like a mirror in your face

Now (Time, pt. 2)

Everybody was sayin’
“No, I just don’t have time.”
But we don’t have to worry about that now
Used to say, “just leave me alone.”
Well, now here we are
Gettin’ fact or fiction
Oh, how blurry the lines
I think we’re thinkin’ more about that now
Used to say, “just leave me alone.”
Well, now here we are
This ain’t how we planned it
I’m just trying to understand it
Masked up like some bandits
What a way to live a life, y’all
This seems underhanded
So I guess you got a theory too
Don’t think I can stand it
That’s okay
We’re just talking, me and you
When it comes down to how we do each other
How much can we care, can we care
You can’t see my face, it’s under cover
But if you look into my eyes
You’ll see me smilin’ on ya, brother
Everybody was sayin’
“No, I just don’t have time.”
But we don’t have to worry about that now
Used to say, “Just leave me alone.”
Well, now I hope we’ve grown
This ain’t how we planned it
I’m just trying to understand it
Masked up like some bandits
What a way to live a life, y’all
This seems underhanded
So I guess you got a theory too
Don’t think I can stand it
That’s okay
We’re just talking, me and you
This ain’t how we planned it
I’m still trying to understand it
Masked up like some bandits
I’d love to see that look on your face
This seems underhanded
I know you’ve got some theory too
Don’t think I can stand it
We’ll just talk
Just me and you
This ain’t how we planned it
Masked up like some bandits
This seems underhanded
Don’t think I can stand it

Endless Hope
03:44
|

You paint a picture
Better than anything I’ve seen
And in this picture
There’s a blissful sky
And I thank God for you
‘Cause you’ve got a vision
It’s clear and everything I wanna see
And in this vision
We’re all free
Here’s what we gotta do
Let’s hold on to endless hope
There’ll never be a time to let it go
Always is the time to state just where you stand
Be evergreen
State your stand
Making decisions
Some subtle but with a corollary dire
Petty revisions
Meant to quench the fire
Still you keep cutting through
‘Cause you’ve got a vision
It’s clear and everything I wanna see
And in this vision
We’re all free
Here’s what we gotta do
Let’s hold on to endless hope
There’ll never be a time to let it go
Always is the time to state just where you stand
Be evergreen
State your stand
Let’s hold on to endless hope
There’ll never be a time to let it go
Always is the time to state just where you stand
Be evergreen
State your stand

On The Edge
03:17
|

I just want to work and play
Not to throw your words away
But I keep seeing just one corner of the day
Never fooled by suit and tie
Secretive navy blue tribe
Every tattooed dude is not a fool
He’s just not you
I think we’re on the edge
Of something that will change us
I think we’re on the edge
Of something that will free us in our lives
We took a breath and soaked it in
Was just a means not yet an end
And everlasting it was not
Nor will it ever be
And our days they still go on
Rising moon and setting sun
Clearly time we pass the mantle
And are led by the young
I think we’re on the edge
Of something that will change us
I think we’re on the edge
Of something that will free us in our lives
Come a little closer
I think we’re on the edge
Come a little closer
Let’s go over the edge
Come a little closer
We’re clearly on the edge
Don’t just leave your rights to die
It’s so crazy not to try
No one ever got this far by laying on the tracks
Fight back
Take a breath and soak it in
Know that this is not the end
One day you will feel the work is done
But it’s not done
Carry on
I think we’re on the edge
Of something that will change us
I think we’re on the edge
Of something that will free us in our lives

Revolution
03:29
|

Keep fighting for your cause
Keep Fighting where you can
find somewhere to hang your sign
or hold it in your hand
The revolution is at hand
I don’t think that way
You don’t like my stance
Hit the late late show tonight
And make fun of my pants
Oh the revolution is at hand
Can we talk about healing hearts
Yes we can
Can we talk about healing minds
Yes we can
Born here in the states?
Comb over or toupee?
Headlines make us laugh
While two more die down Afghan way
Oh this revolution
Could be dead in the sand
80 inch TV
New phone 33
Properly distracted
being made fools you and me
Oh the revolution is clear to see
Can we talk about healing hearts
Yes we can
Can we talk about healing minds
Yes we can
Can we talk about healing hearts
Yes we can
Can we talk about healing minds
Yes we can
Revolution

Final Word (Let's Flow)
05:06

Let’s Flow
What if I tuned out the world
And opened up
And didn’t even guard my heart
What if I wanna be the one
Whose life becomes undone
Yeah, that would be a start
Yeah, I wonder what it would be like
If all I felt was a love light
Shining on my face
What if you talked and I listened
And when I talked, you listened
And we held each other’s hearts
2ND VERSE
Well, we always accomplish something
When we realize
Though we might be different
We’re so much the same
And every human heart needs
Love just the same
CHORUS
Let’s flow
Yeah, we can talk about some things
Let’s flow
Mmmm, mmmm we can make a difference, yeah
Let’s flow
My side, your side, yeah we gotta work it out
Let’s flow
You know I know that we gotta get it together
Let’s flow
Come on, flow!
Wanna get my side together
Can you get your side together
CHORUS
Let’s flow
Yeah, we can talk about some things
Let’s flow
Come on, hey, we got to make a difference, yeah
Let’s flow
I got a side, you got a side, let’s get ‘em together, yeah
Let’s flow
Ain’t no use in talking at me, talkin‘ bout me
Come on, talk it to me
Come on, come on
Let’s flow
