All the times before The time is now Lessons passed from ages Generations become a stepping stone And man must learn It's always a war We win and lose These bodies are holy trinity As histories blood seeps through our pages What do we know Haven't the oceans been crossed? Doesn't the rain fall from on high? Don't the clouds hold hidden faces? Will the sun sometimes shine? It is a blue sky It is the backs of the slaves It is our history's tomorrow Today that we can change It is the death And the loss And the pain It is our glory Our redemption A story we hear time again But give so little attention Become our fear from our hope We have our chance To make a change And open our eyes for just the first time To shine a light To burn Burn away the darkness We have a chance Or we don't Man must learn
