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
