Time Ain't On Our Side

Time is not on our side.

Now is the time to do right.

Seconds keep on ticking.

It's past time to see the light.

As minutes are being lost,

memories are being gained.

Through the cold and the frost,

through the heat and the rain.

As the seasons change,

the only thing that is the same

is the color of your skin

and getting called out of your name.

Do you do what you gotta do

or do you live with your past?

Make your choice right now

'cause time's moving fast.
