Comes a time when we say It's been too long and we can't stay In this world in this way What comes next can't be like today Tell me where the homeless sleep Where do they sit down to eat On the screen there's TV shows Cause anorexia sells clothes You'd think CEOs would know Money cannot feed their souls How long must the people wait Time is running much too late To justify all our lies Open eyes could set things right Look around, what is found? Nothing's changed and whose to blame for it all When everything's failed And time's not for sale What comes after the fall Who tells the tale? Life's as much as it seems But nothing's really what it means And nothing can explain these dreams Lest we speak of broken beams When they're gone its only sound Of cries buried beneath the ground Sometimes love is all we know It takes some time to let it grow The people come the people go Did it take this to let love show? Raise your fist and you may taste That which brings us face to face You could say it's a waste Raise your fist and you may taste That which brings a saving grace That which brings us face to face
