Think of the many cliches, quips and quotes about time. Does it wait for no one or stand still? Time is history, the future and maybe most importantly, the present. What can we do with our time?
lyrics
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)
