It's Time

People are dying every single day
Yet, we just sit around
Frozen, with nothing to say
Voiceless, Pushing them into the ground
But not anymore
We have voices and they are ready to roar
It's time we speak up
It's time we shout out
To take the risk and throw the drugs out
It's time to give people something else to think about

What is wrong with the world today
The good times seem to have faded away
Yesterday is gone, Today is now, and Tomorrow isn't always promised, (It's never promised)
When did our world become so demolished?

People are losing their lives
To something far worse, than guns and knives
Because they are consuming the Devil
and Not knowing that they will never reach his level
It's time to get rid of the bad
and replace it with good
It's time to give them the life they wish they had
The life they dreamed they had
The life they never had

So, what is wrong with the world today?
Have the good times really faded away?
Yesterday is gone, it's never coming back
Today is now, it's time to get our lives on track
Because Tomorrow isn't always promised, (It's never promised)

It's time for no more mental wards
It's time for no more prison wards
It's time to start living by going forward
And to stop dying by going backwards

The time is now, The time has come
To banish the drugs, and to mourn the deaths
People deserve to take deep breaths
People deserve a better outcome
Us, As people deserve to live
People deserve to believe
It's time to forgive
It's time for the drugs to leave

It's time, The time is NOW!

What is wrong with the world today
The good times seem to have faded away
Yesterday is gone, Today is now, and Tomorrow isn't always promised, (it's never promised)
So, when did our world become so demolished?
