Signs Of The Times
Gentleman & Ky-Mani Marley Lyrics

It's a wonderful world
Despite the madness in the world, it is still a beautiful and amazing place.

And bare mad people
However, there are still many people who are unhappy and struggling to find a sense of purpose.

Beautiful world but bare sad people
Despite the beauty of the world, there are still so many people who are suffering and in pain.

We seeking sense, searching for reason
We are all constantly searching for meaning and purpose in our lives.

Everybody trying to be even
We are all trying to find balance and equality in a world that can often be unfair and unjust.

So many rainy days but still I see no water
Despite the metaphorical rain and difficulties we face, we are still struggling to find solutions and make progress.

Fathers can't protect them son, can't protect them daughter
Even parents, who are supposed to provide love and protection, can struggle to keep their children safe in a difficult and dangerous world.

We need a little spark so we can be the fire starter
We need a small amount of encouragement or inspiration to ignite the flame within us and make a difference in the world.

Bring back the joy so we can remember the laughter
We need to find ways to bring back happiness and positivity into our lives, so that we can remember what it feels like to laugh and enjoy life.

Wish you did take it slow, instead of going faster
Sometimes it's better to slow down and take our time, rather than rushing headlong into things and risking making mistakes or causing harm.

What could be a joy, could turn out in a disaster
Even things that seem positive or joyful can sometimes turn out badly or have negative consequences.

If them knock you down you get back up with the bruise and the cuts
When we face difficulties or setbacks, we have to be resilient and strong enough to pick ourselves up and keep going even when we're hurt.

For every wound there is a plaster
For every hurt or pain we experience, there is a way to heal or find comfort.

These are the signs of the times
These are the indicators or symptoms of the problems and challenges that we face in the world today.

Who is marching on who resign
Who is pushing forward and fighting for change, and who is surrendering or giving up in the face of adversity?

Who will accept, who decline (who will accept, who will accept)
Who will be open to new ideas or ways of thinking, and who will refuse to change or grow?

It is time for us to define
It's time for us to clearly define or identify the problems and issues we face, so that we can start working towards solutions.

Who destroys, who design
Who is responsible for creating and perpetuating the problems we face, and who has the power or potential to make things better?

Society heartless some things need to address
Society can be cruel and uncaring at times, and there are many issues that need to be addressed if we want to create a more compassionate and just world.

The system so stink and leave this place in a mess
The current systems and structures in place can often be corrupt and ineffective, leaving the world in a state of chaos and destruction.

Man cuff we dream and place it under arrest
Our hopes and aspirations can be crushed or suppressed by the negative forces of the world, leaving us feeling defeated and hopeless.

Mi wuda like fi see what you have under you chest
I would like to see what kind of heart or character you possess, and what kind of person you truly are.

Is it a heart you have, is it a stone
Do you have a compassionate and caring heart, or are you cold and indifferent towards the suffering of others?

Is this paradise tell me if I can call this home
Is this world truly a paradise, or is it so flawed and distorted that we can't even consider it a place we feel at home?

We walking in the crowd but I still feel alone
Even when we're surrounded by people, we can still feel lonely and disconnected from the world around us.

We born by we self and we're leaving on our own
We come into this world alone, and we will ultimately leave it alone, so it's up to us to create our own purpose and meaning in between.
