Our TIme

Our time is now, Our time is now. When words are not enough Great men stand tall And society’s instrument Becomes victim to the reins. When times are more than tough And men lie down in defeat And truer words are spoken than in peace, We cry ‘by any means necessary’. Our time is now, Our time is now. But Bob Dylan tells us The times are a’ changing But who told us They would never stop. And who knows more about change Than we the cradle of man The champions of the struggle Who wished for so much more. But our time is now Because this IS the future And impossible triumphs Do not end with touch screens and computers Or with the availability of bus seats. But I’ve seen it, In the eyes of friends and the words of tomes There is nothing more heartening, Opportunity. Our time is now And forever.
