Story Behind The Song

The state of the world today. The division, the vitriol, the wars, Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, COVID. We have to stop all this hate and end the war. War has never been the answer. It's time we finally realize that.

Song Description

End all the wars. End the hate. The time has come that we get our acts together and stop this madness.

Lyrics

ASCAP

For compassion, it's time
For healing, it's time
For understanding, it's time
And for love, it is time

Ooh
The time has come

For us to think higher
For us to speak wiser
Be the change we all want to see
To lay down our weapons
Focus on connections
So that we may live in unity

If not now, when
Let's not make the same mistakes again

Chorus:
The time has come for us to
Rise (Right here, right now)
Rise above the hate
Rise (Rise up, rise up)
Before it's too late
Because the time has come

For us to be kinder
To do more than aspire
And find the path to peace
To love our neighbor
Honor our nature
Choose a different wolf to feed

If not now, when
You're digging your own grave if you want revenge

Chorus x1

If not now, when
Enough war, it's got to end

Chorus (modulated)

Ooh-ooh
The time has come x4
