What a Time to Be Alive

from A Matter of Time by Ferocious Designs

/

about

Written in January 2020, this song was originally about the debate surrounding climate change. But the lyrics wound up being just as applicable in regard to the pandemic that hit soon after.

lyrics

I wake up to another rising Sun
Already feeling like the day is done
I can't shake this weight

Another chance for us to save the day
But those in charge keep pushing us away
Are we just too late?

Why...do you close your eyes?
Why...do you speak your lies?
And I cry

Moving through another wasted day
Our future quickly vanishing away
We ignore the proof

Going backwards as we move ahead
How do we let ourselves get so misled?
Who will stand for truth?

Why...do you close your eyes?
Why...do you speak your lies?
And I cry

What a time to be alive right now
Just hoping to survive again somehow
Even with the darkness in our way
The time is now for truth to win the day
What a time to be alive right now
Just hoping to survive again somehow
The future is still ours if we just fight
We only have to choose to see the light

See the light

What a time to be alive right now
Just hoping to survive again somehow
Even with the darkness in our way
The time is now for truth to win the day
What a time to be alive right now
Just hoping to survive again somehow
The future is still ours if we just fight
We only have to choose to see the light
What a time to be alive right now
(What a time to be alive)
Just hoping to survive again somehow
(Be alive)
Even with the darkness in our way
(Be alive)
The time is now for truth to win the day
