This time it’s going to be different
I heard it on the news
Men are gonna lay the weapons down
Women keep the right to choose
This time it’s going to be different
People breaking out in song
Dancing in the street
Singing love will save us all
But we’re going to need each other
Sisters and brothers
Who do we turn to
If we turn on each other?
We’re going to need each other
Mothers and fathers
Let’s teach the children well
That we are all in this together
So, let’s rise
This time it’s gonna be better
If we can cool things down
Through burning trees
Through rising seas
We can turn this boat around
So, let’s lean into our history
Try to reconcile the wrongs
Build a new and better way with the voice of everyone
But we’re going to need each other
Sisters and brothers
Who do we turn to
If we turn on each other?
Yeah, we’re going to need each other
Mothers and fathers
Let’s teach the children well
That we are all in this together
So, let’s rise
So, next time you despair
Next time you’re feeling alone
Make a crazy life
Of just being alive
That’ll make it so
We hope that we can do better
That this time we’ll get it right
The reds, the blues, the mes, the yous
Find a way to stop the fight
We’re going to need each other
Sisters and Brothers
Who do we turn to
If we turn on each other?
Yeah, we’re going to need each other
Mothers and fathers
Let’s teach the children well
That we are all in this together
Yeah, let’s rise
