Emily Finchum - What a Time to Be Alive Lyrics

So many tables have turned
Things aren't the way that they were
Everybody's watching
Everybody's talking

It's only gonna get worse
The actions and the words
Everybody thinks the Earth is spinning faster
But I just think it's getting slower

The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in glee

Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"

So many people have turned
Their backs on one another
They reject what they are served
And then go and shoot the messenger

Look what we ended up with
It's not pretty
No
It's not pretty

The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in glee

Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"

The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in glee

Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"

Whoa
They tell us to look to the light)
Whoa
But if we look too long we'll go blind
Whoa
Don't tell me to look to the light
'Cause I don't wanna go blind

The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in glee

Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"

The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in glee

Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"

The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in glee

Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"
