The Time Is Now
DJ Antoine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open your eyes
Humanity, humanity
Let’s disarm the human race
Of tragedy, of tragedy
Cause I just wanna love
And I just wanna be
I just wanna live in harmony
Yeah, everywhere I be
I just wanna live in harmony
The time is right now
The time is, the time is
The time is now
The time is, the time is
Came on a boat and a plane
I came here with my own name
Crossing the seven seas
To wash up at shore
And battle the thieves
And I'm gonna get them like
I'm stuck at sea leaving my home
How about the refugee
Lifeless children they wash up at sea
And then the borders closed on me
And I just wanna be
I just wanna live in harmony
And everywhere you go
Yeah, everywhere I be
I just wanna live in harmony
The time is right now
The time is, the time is
The time is now
The time is, the time is
