Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a wonderful world and bare mad people
Beautiful world, but be sad people
We seekin' sense, searchin' for reason
Everybody tryin' to be even
A wonderful world and pure, mad people
Beautiful world and pure, sad people
Mistrust and accusation of treason
But people still change like the seasons
[Verse 2]
So many rainy days, but still, I see no water
Fathers can't protect them son, can't protect them daughter
We need a likkle spark so we can be the firestarter
Bring back the joy, so we can remember the laughter
[Verse 3]
Wish you could take it slow, instead of goin' faster
What could be a joy could turn out in a disaster
If them knock you down, you get back up with the bruise and the cuts
For every wound, there is a plaster
[Verse 4]
These are the signs of the times
Who is marchin' on? Who resign?
Who will accept? Who decline?
(Who will accept? Who will accept?)
These are the signs of the times
It is time for us to define
Who destroys? Who design?
[Verse 5]
Society heartless, some things need to address
The system so stink and leave this place in a mess
Man cuff we dream and place it under arrest
Mi would like fi see what you have under your chest
[Verse 6]
Is it a heart you have? Is it a stone?
Is this paradise? Tell me if I can call this home
We walkin' in the crowd, but I still feel alone
We born by we self and we leavin' on our own
[Verse 7]
Beautiful world
Beautiful world
Wonderful world
Beautiful world
[Verse 8]
These are the signs of the times
Who is marching on? Who resign?
Who will accept? Who decline?
These are the signs of the times
It is time for us to define
Who destroys? Who design?
[Verse 9]
Signs of the time
Signs of the time
Signs of the times
