See the moon roll across the stars
See the seasons turn like a heart
Your Father's Days are lost to you
This is your time here to do what you will do
Your life is now, your life is now, your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
Would you teach your children to tell the truth
Would you take the high road if you could choose
Do you believe you're a victim of a great compromise
Cause I believe you could change your mind and change our lives
:| chorus, then to interlude
x2, then :| 1/2 intro
Would you teach your children to tell the truth
This is your time here to do what you will do
:| chorus x2
