about

This is the updated version of the song played earlier in the album. The gritty island flavor is to help accent the social/political anthem intention of the lyric.

In this version the stifling attitude of the street is met with the call to revolution. The intent of the upbeat ending is to motivate and assure the listeners that true social change and equality is within our reach. Yet, we will only accomplish these goals by determination and conviction. Otherwise the cities and communities will continue on their path towards aimless subservience.

lyrics

Our Times Now

Walking thru the life in the street
Nothing is much harder than to keep
Your head from bowing low from the strain
Your faith and hope and love from getting stained
Down too far down, running ‘round, not too proud
Lazy feeling eighty, much too hasty and let down

Waiting to see someone make it go
Cutting thru the muck much too slow
Give me another dime says a man
Who says this every morning since I was a lad

Shrouds bring them down, going now I will plow
Many of us angry, we will not stand it, our times now

These are the hands which will carry you to safety
This is the time to make our statement
Our time, our time is now

This is my life this is my day
This is my life out of my way
This is my life, all done my way
This is my love, freedom today

Freedom, freedom today
