A quick write in August 2020. I did the music first, then made up lyrics based on random sounds while singing along with the music. Not my usual method.
lyrics
we tried so hard
tried so hard to wait
we said we'll do
we'll do what it takes
they say fools rush in
and that is trun
fools rush in
from the time we begin
CHORUS:
Now it's time, now it's time
I got nothing to prove
Now it's time, now it's time
got nothing to lose
Now it's time, now it's time
it's time to move
all I got is a question for you
darkness falls
darkness falls again
we sit in judgement
oh we condemn
oh we know we're right
we double down tonight
but we all have to look in the mirror
in the end
so now the time has come
our time is here
hold my hand
let's silence the fear
all we want
is to have our say
but so many obstacles
in the way
