John Jordan - It's Their Turn Lyrics

Now it's their turn
Now it's their time
This time they have earned
This rhyme is their rhyme
Now it's their chance
Now it's their shot
Now it's their dance
Go back we cannot
It's up to them now
All up to them
The world will be dancing
To their new rhythm
Will they save us
Or is it already too late
To fix the damages we made
With all of our mistakes

We had our opportunity
To make things better in the scene
We had the responsibility
In our time of fertility
We did the very best we could
But not all that we should
Now it's time to pass the fire
To those we hope we have inspired

There will always be more work to do
As it was for me so it is for you
Put our shoulders to the wheel
Pushing forward our ideals
Fighting for what's just and right
Lighting the darkness of the night
In the younger we must trust
It's up to them now boom or bust

Teach your children well they say
It won't be long until it's their day
When in their hands will be our fates
We can only pray it's not too late
To undo all the damage wrought
By past generations who only sought
To profit from the blood of Earth
Exploit the world for all it's worth

In you we trust, in you we hope
In you we pray you see the scope
Of how much change you can affect
By reigning in the greed unchecked
By calling out the thieves and liars
And elevating us much higher
So much wrong to be undone
To make a world for everyone
