Lyrics

It's time we find a better way,
To live our lives and celebrate
We’re gonna beg until they hear us, gonna pray until we feel it
Start to lay the law down in a peaceful spirit
Gonna rise up, Come on baby, Do whatever it takes

It’s time we grow a garden of virtues
Sprinkle in some love that seems so long overdue
We wanna build a time machine if you know what I mean
Look ‘em in the eyes til they apologize
Not gonna give up, come on baby, do whatever it takes

Cuz it’s our life, and it's our power
We gotta make hay while the sun shines, eat, sleep, make love and we take a shower
We got a purpose, This is our chance
We gonna tell the devil to take a walk when she asks us to dance

And I know that it could be perfect………..To respect life as if we’ve earned it
‘cause a hundred years go by in the blink of an eye
Can’t believe ‘em all they do is lie lie lie
We gotta wise up, come on baby, Do whatever it takes

Now we’ve got a better way
To live our lives and celebrate
Don’t ya bother with the stories that you hear on the news
We gonna knock em back with peace, love, and gratitude
It’s time to open up, love somebody, do whatever it takes

Everybody rise up and love somebody, do whatever it takes
Nobody give up, come on buddy, do whatever it takes
We gonna wise up, love somebody, do whatever
