From the recording And If I Could - Tracks
Lyrics
Note: This song is a tribute to the people of Ukraine and all others who fight for freedom and to save their heritage and way of life.
We grew up on these streets, in these neighborhoods
Now we watch them die
So many changes come so fast
Mom and Pop shops falling to the rising beast, it makes you cry
And pray for a change at last
Unveil the mask
We take back our past
Right now – there’s no time to waste
Our future’s at stake and faith is what hope demands
Right now – good enough ain’t enough
And all the mistrust must be solved working hand in hand
Right now … right now
Out from the nervous still another siren screams - it’s man on man
More blood for the evening news
And on the front page, more rage, empty dreams - take a stand
We won’t survive if we ain’t no use
We can choose our way to the truth
Right now – there’s no time to waste
Our future’s at stake and faith is what hope demands
Right now – good enough ain’t enough
And all the mistrust must be solved working hand in hand
Right now … right now … right now
We all feel the pain as children cry
You’re a number, get in line
More lies … more lies … a throwback to another time
They say things will change for the better
Don’t believe ‘em
Tomorrow’s built upon the past we love
Protect the dreaming
When you must, then you can … so try
Watch out they’re turning up the heat
Brother burning brother undercover in the night
Battlegrounds rage in the street
Push it, keep it, push it, keep it, push it make it right … right now
Push it … keep it … push it … keep it … push it … keep it … push it … keep it …
Push it … keep it … push it … keep it … push it … keep it … push it … keep it …
Push it … keep it … push it … keep it … push it … keep it … push it … keep it …
Push it … keep it … push it … keep it …
Right now – there’s no time to waste
Our future’s at stake and faith is what hope demands
Right now – good enough ain’t enough
And all the mistrust must be solved working hand in hand
Right now … right now … right now
