What A Time To Be Alive Lyrics by ​anne october

I’ll Be Okay

2018

[Verse 1]
So many tables have turned
Things aren't the way that they were
Everybody's watching
Everybody's talking
[Verse 2]
It's only gonna get worse
The actions and the words
Everybody thinks the Earth is spinning faster
But I just think it's getting slower
[Chorus]
The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in plea
[Post-Chorus]
Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"
[Verse 3]
So many people've turned
Their backs on one another
They reject what they observe
And then go and shoot the messenger
[Pre-Chorus]
Look what we ended up with
It's not pretty
No
It's not pretty
[Chorus]
The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in plea
[Post-Chorus]
Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"
[Chorus]
The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in plea
[Post-Chorus]
Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"
[Bridge]
Wow (they tell us to look to the light)
Wow, but if we look too long we'll go blind
Wow, don't tell me to look to the light
'Cause I don't wanna go blind
[Chorus]
The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in plea
[Post-Chorus]
Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"
[Chorus/Bridge]
The world might end tomorrow
(wow)
Or maybe it'll end in a week
(they tell us to look to the light)
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
(wow)
Or maybe it'll end in plea
(but if we look too long we'll go blind)
[Post-Chorus/Bridge]
Before we all die young
(wow)
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
(don't tell me to look to the light)
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive" ('cause I don't wanna go blind)
[Chorus]
The world might end tomorrow
Or maybe it'll end in a week
Maybe it'll end in sorrow
Or maybe it'll end in plea
[Post-Chorus]
Before we all die young
We don't know when the time will come
So for now let's raise our hands to the sky
Singing "what a time, what a time to be alive"
