Verse 1
The good old days are gone
In the past where they belong
Turns out they weren't so good for everyone
Tear down this house of stone
I built to stand alone
'Cause there ain't room for anyone
For anyone, for everyone
Chorus
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of the bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But if we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
Verse 2
I grieve the things I see
Brothers found as enemies
White-knuckled disbelief in everyone
Oh, land of liberty
Shines bright enough for me
When will she shine that same light
On everyone, on everyone?
Chorus
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of the bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But if we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
Bridge
Generations pass unrighted wrongs
Their children cry, "How long, how long?"
'Til justice flows like a river
Let justice roll like a river
Generations pass unrighted wrongs
Their children cry, "How long, how long?"
'Til justice flows like a river
Let justice roll like a river
Chorus
When all of the tables are turnin'
All of my bridges are burnin'
Can't keep a heart that is hurtin'
From breakin' down
But if we are the times that are changin'
If we are the lessons we're learnin'
If everyone's someone worth savin'
Then the time is now
Post-Chorus
Oh, the time is now
Yeah, the time is now
