The Awakening - Zuccotti Park - 2011 (Time Now To Be Free)
We are calling you from out in the rain
When we sing now, our voices are the same
Though our story is an old one,
A many times told one
We just have to tell it one more time again
There are things we will bring to an end
Now you've just begun to know what it means
To just begin to know who we are
Though for years they've tried to tell you,
With their media and network news
Hope for change will always be a bridge too far.
Now you've just begun to know who we are
We, We are more than the nations that divide us
We are those who know it's time now to be free
From those who try to blind our eyes and take life from us
We will light the fires of change for we can see
That the day will come and it won't be long
When
"It's Time Now To Be Free" will be your song
Though the wealthy wage their wars
Just to possess even more
It's still the lives of the poor
That they spend
There are things we will bring
Things we will bring
Things we will bring
To an end
We, We are more than the nations that divide us
We are those who know it's time now to be free
From those who try to build their walls of hate between us
We'll unite and tear them down for we can see
That the day will come and it won't be long
When together we will stand to right the wrongs
Though their jails and guns are plenty
And our wounded hearts are many
They'll never silence the message
That we send
There are things we will bring
Things we will bring
Things we will bring
To an end
Though our cities are like prisons
Where adversity has risen
In our sky a golden sun
Will shine again
Time for the hope we will bring
Time for the change we will bring
Time for our world
Time for our world to begin
We are calling you from out in the rain...
We are more
We are more
Than the nations that divide us
We are more
Though they try to blind our eyes
We will light the fires of change for we can see
Time now to be free
