This Is the Time

There comes a time when you hear a certain cry
And you wanna give love a try
It's the time as the road in life unwinds
You seek to find a peace of mind
How many hearts have been broken
Brothers going down losing their lives in vain
People are confused not knowing what to do
By grace they hope they'll push on through

I say this is the time to unite
And it doesn't matter if you're black or you're white
This is the time to unite
And it doesn't matter if you're black or white

Sisters prostituting on the streets at night
As a means to survive
The young ones are constantly drifting astray
Hoping for a better day
Life is what we make it some say
So I know there's got to be a better way
We can all make it if we try
Come on my brothers give love a try

This is the time to unite
And it doesn't matter if you're black or you're white
This is the time to unite
And it doesn't matter if you're black or white
