Time’s Up

your time is up

this is no drill 

the seas are rising and the,

fires are raging still

nowhere to hide

from such a loss

hard times bring lessons learned that

come at too high a cost

here is no why

there is just pain

caught holding the umbrella

standing in acid rain

we are to blame

for all we see

sitting on our hands while the

whole world is on its knees

a dream…deferred

never stopping to think

living…our lives

somewhere out on the brink

your time’s up

your time’s up

it’s time

your time has come

no need to run

it’s all just evolution

finishing what you’ve begun

as lies and fears

have taken hold

now reap what you’ve been sewing

if we may be so bold

a sickness rages

through our veins

as you divide and conquer

in the name of short-term gain

is this your plan

to be redeemed?

cos even Jesus Christ can’t

fathom this suffering

a dream…deferred

never stopping to think

living…our lives

somewhere out on the brink

lions, awake!
