I know that things have got to change
For the better, or so I'm told
No one seems to talk too much about it
It's the feeling, that's just getting old
Maybe we take too much for granted
Perhaps there's more that we can do
I think it's time to understand it

I think it's time for me and you
Now hear this!

Now hear the music!
Now hear this!

Now hear the music!
♪
Too many people are hungry!
Too many people die alone!
I think it's time!
To face the music
I think it's time to let them know
It's an understanding, yeah
That's what's missing!
Take a little time, and listen
Now hear this!
(Everybody needs an understanding)
Now hear the music!
(Everybody needs to know)
Now hear this!
(We should take a little time, oh...)
Now hear the music!
