Well I can hear the trumpets blowing, screaming out the end of time 
Look around and listen and you'll see every sign 
The waters are polluted as the forests are cut down 
Bombing and drilling deep below the ground 
 
Check the prophecies from around the world 
And look around now as it all unfurls 
Look into yourself and see what goes on 
Get a feeling in your heart of the right from wrong 
 
Because the earth needs to be respected 
Been far from too long that she's been neglected 
Race against race, such a foolish waste 
It's like cutting off your nose to spit your face 
 
And at the end of the wars, what was the cost? 
It's clear that the earth was the one who lost 
We are one with her as she is one with us 
It's unreal how she is treated so unjust 
 
As our planet grows smaller each and every day 
Everyone affecting everyone in every way 
We're all citizens of the world community 
All here together and we're searching for unity 
 
Over the years, I've grown and changed so much 
Things I know now years ago, I couldn't touch 
There are things I've done that I wouldn't do again 
But I'm glad that I did 'cause I've learned from them 
I just try to stay present right here, right now 
No worries, no fears and without any doubts 
 
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time 
It's about time, it's about time 
 
'Cause in these times, these changing times 
A transition is occurring and I am not blind 
As the pendulum swings a new age we enter 
And with every swing, it draws closer to the center 
 
Yes the storm before the calm and the wars that lead to love 
Things must run their course so we push and we shove 
But we're here to work it out in one way or another 
To find a mutual respect for ourselves and one another 
 
And the true key is a trust in self 
For when I trust myself, I fear no one else 
I took control of my life, just as anyone can 
And I want everyone to see it's in the palm of your hand 
 
Yeah, the past is gone, the future yet unborn 
But right here and now is where it all goes on 
I know we can fix it and it's not too late 
I give respect to King and his nonviolent ways 
 
I dream and I hope and I won't forget 
Someday I'm going to visit on a free Tibet 
Someday I'm going to see us all joined as one 
And it would be too bad to blow it up before we're done 
 
'Cause we long behind the rage learning from the pain 
The love behind the tension like the sun behind the rain 
I'm sending loving light to all that is 
To all creation and the life we live 
I'm not preaching bullshit, just speaking my mind 
'Cause I'm here now and it's about time 
 
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time 
It's about time, it's about time
