Want to know the reason
I just don't walk away
Try to find the answers
That's the time they slip away
Why can't it be easy?
If I believed that's what I'd pray
God I know we're making dents
By changing today
In times of trouble, times of pain
And we're the ones who see it
We've got to seize the day
When I die I want to know, now
We helped to make a difference
Find a reason
Or find a rhyme
And we can help refine it
We've gotta go
We're gonna see it through
Your times are calling you
We gotta go
We're gonna see it through
Your times are calling you
Want to know the reason
I just don't walk away
Try to find the answers
And that's the time they slip away
Why can't it be easy?
If I believed that's what I'd pray
God I know we're making dents
By changing today
There's so much darkness in our day
Bleed the planet, kill each other
Freedom what a price we pay
I'd swallow all the poison
To make it go away
Find a reason
We'll find a rhyme
And we can help refine it
We gotta go
We're gonna see it through
Your times are calling you
We've gotta go
We're gonna see it through
Your times are calling you
Find a reason
We'll find a rhyme
And we can help refine it
We gotta go
We're gonna see it through
Your times are calling you
We've gotta go
We're gonna see it through
Your times are calling you
We gotta go
Your times are bleeding through
Your times are calling you
