Our Turn

You had your chance to do your dance –
form the future for us all.
Is it better? Have lives improved?
Or have your efforts hit the wall?
We’re still at war, just like before.
You don’t talk about it much.
If our system’s still run by you
no wonder we’re out-of-touch.

(Refrain)
It’s our turn, It’s our voice –
we’ll step up to be heard.
Time to store old ways away –
questions to be answered.
It’s our turn, It’s our voice,
time to shape what life becomes.
We create our destiny –
to do what must be done.

Such a mess you’ve left us in –
so many issues unresolved.
Can women earn as much as men?
Has prejudice evolved?
Do homeless have a place to live?
Do Vets now have good care?
Why is health so costly when
the sick are in despair?

(refrain)

(Mid8)
No one else can do it for us.
No one else can make it right.
It’s up to us to lead the way.
Up to us to lead the fight.
We’re not idle puppets who
let others pull our strings.
Our turn to be first in line –
bring what we need to bring.

(refrain)

We create out destiny —
to do what must be done –
to do what must be done –
to do what must be done –
