It's About Time

© 2003, Lyrics and Music by Jason Didner


We've been in combat
Too many years
On auto pilot
With rage and fear
We go in circles
With half our minds
Flying these patterns
We're flying blind
It's like we're reading from a screenplay
Written down at birth
One page to repeat
For all our days on earth
Always one answer for every problem
Thoughtlessly arranged
How bad do you want it all to change?

It's about time
We learn from each other
Time to not make another
Turn around the cycle
Of pain and sorrow
It's about time
Forget retribution
Time to find resolution
What we say today
Will echo back tomorrow
It's about time

I like to test you
You hold it in
I push you 'til you
Jump out of your skin
We're a broken record
In a digital age
What will it take 'til we
Turn the page

It's like I'm reading from a screenplay
Written down at birth
I tear the page out and crumple it up
That's what it's worth
Still now I don't feel vindicated
I'm only feeling strange
I'm terrified of how I might change

It's about time
We learn from each other
Time to not make another
Turn around the cycle
Of pain and sorrow
It's about time
Forget retribution
Time to find resolution
What we learn today
Will turn the page tomorrow
It's about time

It's time to really read the screenplay
We've carried 'round since birth
And cross out those old useless lines
That do nothing but hurt
It's time to ask hard questions
Why we act the way we do
And where are we really going to?

It's about time
We learn from each other
Time to not make another
Turn around the cycle
Of pain and sorrow
It's about time
Forget retribution
Time to find resolution
What we learn today
Will turn the page tomorrow
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
