The Time Was Right
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someone said the time was right each word was so sincere
His friends smiled and raised a glass then drank another beer
Their hearts were strong with feelings for they knew what they had found
A whole new world was waiting for the men who stood their ground
The time was right
The time was right
But the time for truth was over
The time was right
The time was right
But now that time is dead and gone
People cried tears of blood
as the young men marched away
Prayers were heard from the crowd
"Return them safe one day"
But all night long as darkness filled the sky
The old man's friend was dreaming of the day when he would die
The sun shone on the battlefield where a lonely figure stands
Full of shame he cries out loud this is something I don't understand
The days are short but the nights so long when you can't stop thinking back
Betray your trust to someone and he'll stab you in the back
