**I Think It's Time (Let's Do Something!)**

feeling down

from another wasted night

I hate this burning light

I wish I could jsut close my eyes one last time

I'd sing you sweet sweet lulabies

Hold your head to my chest when you star to cry



I think it's time

I think it's time tonight

It's time to fight this tonight

Make everything alright tonight

It's time tonight



Another wasted breath again

Tryin to hold your soft scent all in

But it goes away

So does the day

Why can't I end this breathing tonight?



I need to fight it

The urge to give up

The want that is in my heart

It is tearing me apart



So ends this night

I'll shut the door

Turn off the light

And close my eyes...

But it is no use, No, not tonight

It is time again for just one more sleepless night





I think it's time

I think it's time tonight

It's time to fight this tonight

Make everything alright tonight

It's time tonight



Hurt feelings

Never meant too much to me

I look farther ahead then the eye can see

I have hope in God that tomorrow will be better



I'll be here for you

Sit here quietly and listen too

Here comes the pouring rain one more time

Why go on agian?

This life is wrong again

I can't go on

This situation is telling me I'm wrong



And it is time to shut the door

Close my eyes and try to sleep some more

Tomorrow is another busy day

One last chance to make everything ok



But whats OK about tomorrow?

When today I am in sorrow

What is the point of caring at all?



The day after promises to be wetter

Why go on in this hate filled place?

I can't go on



When I look outside my window

I see happy playful children

I remember that a day away there are children without food



No place to call their home

Parents died and they are alone

You can't tell me that we can make this any better



We can try

Before they die

They are mere children

There are millions

Thousands more dying every day



They say this nation is rich enough

But we don't care enough

The government is corrupt

Yet we still have bills to pay



I give up today

What is the use in trying

When the children will just keep dyin

Come on and help me here, I need a little faith



Show me what we need to show

To help this nation thrive and grow

Instead we kick our fathers and out daughters

Out on the pavement



Why go on?

My faith in what we know

Is now at an all time low

I need help



We all need to help those children

Instead of sitting here reading about them

Go out and give them food and shelter

For rain is on it's way



I think it's time

I think it's time tonight

It's time to fight this tonight

Make everything alright tonight

It's time tonight



Give me more hope and faith

That is all I ask of you

Let me live another day like she wants me to



We can save the dying children

We should try instead of just talking about them

Go out and do something, stop staring at the screen



But for tonight

I suppose I'll stand and fight

My life is not worth losing here tonight

Give me strength



No more lying

No more cryin

No more living just to be dying

Get up now, let's keep tryin



I think it's time

I think it's time tonight

It's time to fight this tonight

Make everything alright tonight

It's time tonight



Get up and fight

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Started off as a sad 'wtf has this world come to' kinda song thing, then turned into a homeless children issue.  You can all do things to help. Donate a stuffed animal to a shelter for a child, give food, give love, do something.  The government doesn't give a shit about 3 year old kids out on the street, so we have to save them ourselves!
