Time For Everything

There's a time for everything under the Sun

At least that's what I had learned when I was young

But lately all the time has shown

Is you can't trust everything you're told

This is what it's like at 31

I'm not really sure what I believe

Is it history or is it poetry?

'Cause lately all I'm certain of

If there's a God, they are love

And there's a time for everything under the Sun

So when is it time for a liberation?

When is it time for new revelation?

'Cause this doesn't feel a whole lot like the Jesus we're preaching

No, this doesn't look a whole lot like the loving we're living

No, this doesn't sound a whole lot like salvation

I don't like the labels anymore

Feels like propaganda getting us through their doors

'Cause what we say and what we mean

They don't line up and they make us mean

What the hell are we even fighting for?

I'm so tired of the politics and the wars

And using our theologies like swords

We've got 40, 000 different names

And every name is shifting blame

I mean, is this really what the bride is for?

Oh, and who said we decide who's in or out?

As if you're gay you know you'd better straighten out

Or if your skin makes us feel unsafe

Just quiet down, take up less space

When's the time we learn to shut our mouths?

When is it time for a liberation?

When is it time for new revelation?

'Cause this doesn't feel a whole lot like the Jesus we're preaching

No, this doesn't look a whole lot like the loving we're living

No, this doesn't sound a whole lot like salvation

Salvation

I know the truth is worth fighting for

But something isn't lining up anymore

'Cause a God who'd rather die

Than not have us right by his side

Is more about love than we'll ever know

They're more about love than we'll ever know

Than we'll ever know, oh

Than we'll ever know, oh

So from this day until my final breath

I'm gonna give away everything inside my chest

I won't withhold what's given me

Even if you disagree

'Cause there's a time for everything under the Sun

And it's time for us to learn how to really love
