about

This is a call to arms to do things today rather than waiting around for things to be just right.

lyrics

Wake up the party’s over
Each day getting older
It’s time to make your way
It’s time to face the day
A million tired excuses
Are no reason for holding back

Wake up the party’s over
Each night getting colder
It’s time to make it happen
It’s time to take some action
A million wasted chances
Are lost opportunities

Why wait for the world to change?
Why wait for a better day?
Take all the pieces in your hands
And make them all collide
With all the ideas that you have
And all your strengths combined

Wake up the party’s over
Each try getting bolder
It’s time to make it vital
It’s time to break the cycle
A million empty judgements
Are never gonna count

Why wait for the world to change?
Why wait for a better day?
Take all the pieces in your hands
And make them all collide
With all the ideas that you have
And all your strengths combined

Got to try to find the right words
So they understand the message loud and clear
Got to find the right words
To make a stand and speak out so they might hear

It’s hard sometimes to make decisions
Too many offers of shallow opinions
With strings attached and too many conditions
And one too many contradictions

It’s hard to get past all the distractions
And all the spiteful knee-jerk reactions
The deafening silence of inaction
The blinding fragments of the splintered factions

But these are just obstacles
To smash and overcome

Why wait for the world to change?
Why wait for a better day?
Why wait for the world to change?
Why wait for a better day?
Take all the pieces in your hands
And make them all collide
With all the ideas that you have
And all your strengths combined
