(Intro / Cadenza)
Deep
... within my self
... within my heart
... within my breath
... within my soul
... the space of my mind
I start
... to recognize
... to realize
Beginnin' to phan-ta-size:
(Bridge)
"It's goin' to be a nightmare,
if we don't choose to care --- ---
(Verse)
The empty streets are crowded
by fear and eagerness
And words silently shouted:
they cover human mess.
The blooming pots show colourful
plastic plants to me
Just next to them: a frozen face,
its eyes have ceased to see."
(Refrain)
In this world, life will be gone
If we just shut up, and go along.
In my dream, we start to see
What lively paradise the earth can be!
I still believe
That there is hope for change
And humankind will learn to rearrange
But it's time ---
But it's time
To act!
(Instrumental)
(Verse)
When time is spent so restlessly
In the market place
And value gained so recklessly
In bankers' kind of race
When polticians' speech is kind
The naive are deceived
And power is not being shared
'gainst poverty and grief
(Refrain)
In this world, life will be gone
If we just shut up, and go along.
In my dream, we start to see
What lively paradise the earth can be!
I still believe
That there is hope for change
And humankind will learn to rearrange
But it's time ---
But it's time
To act!
(Coda)
But it's time ---
But it's time
To act!
Never more neglect!
