The word's out on the street 
Around everyone you meet 
"Things are not the way they used to be" 

There's a feeling in the air 
A dark cloud of despair 
That hides our hearts 
And blinds our eyes to see 

They say that it's a shame 
That all we do is blame 
And never treat ourselves with dignity 

What would we do 
Without a hand to hold onto 
With no one to call out to 
What if we could 
Behave like sisters and brothers 
Like the good book says we should 

[Chorus]
It's time, time, time 
We try so hard to find 
But time has no mercy on me 
Just take a look at love 
On the wings of a dove 
Gives us everything we want for free 

What will you say or do 
When a child asks of you 
What kind of world have you left here for me? 

Too many sleepless nights 
Too many questions why 
This is not the way it's supposed to be 

What happened to 
The land, the trees and the rivers 
Some have now all gone away 
What happens if 
We see them as sisters and brothers 
Like the good Lord says we should 

[Chorus]

There's a word on the street 
From everyone you meet 
Peace is the only way for us to be 

There's a feeling in the air 
Do away with this despair 
Let's hear our hearts 
And open our eyes to see 

What would we do 
Without a hand to hold onto 
With no one to call out to 
What if we could 
Behave like sisters and brothers 
Like the good book says we should 

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
