It’s About Time! It’s About Changes! And, It’s About Time!

“It’s About Time”

There’s a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again

Who’s to say, you have to lose for someone else to win?

In the eyes of all the people, the look is much the same

For the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game

It’s about time we realize it, we’re all in this together

It’s about time we find out, it’s all of us or none

It’s about time we recognize it, these changes in the weather

It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time

There’s a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see

And a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me

I suppose, I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land

With his lips upon our mother’s breast, he makes his strongest stand

It’s about time we start to see it, the earth is our only home

It’s about time we start to face it, we can’t make it here all alone

It’s about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind

It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time

There’s a man who is my brother, I just don’t know his name

But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same

And it hurts me when he’s hungry and when his children cry

I too am a father and that little one is mine

It’s about time we begin it, to turn the world around

It’s about time we start to make it, the dream we’ve always known

It’s about time we start to live it, the family of man

It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time

It’s about peace and it’s about plenty and it’s about time

It’s about you and me together and it’s about time
