A Time to Live Lyrics by Bobby O

Social Contract Theory

2011

[Verse 1]
Take a look at everything outside
Ravenous greed, resentment, envy, pride
Backstabbing liars, con-men will conspire
Devils dressed like angels toss the innocent to the fire
[Chorus]
A time to live, and a time to die
What a time to laugh and a time to cry
A time for peace, and a time to fight
A time to live, yes, it's time to live, 'cause you're still alive
[Verse 2]
Hope connects to happiness
Turning nightmares into wonderful dreams
Weeding out all ignorance from the higher human beings
Backstabbing liars, con-men will conspire
Devils dressed like angels tossing innocents to the fire
[Chorus]
A time to live, and a time to die
A time to laugh and a time to cry
A time for peace and a time to fight
A time to live, yes, it's time to live, 'cause you're still alive
[Verse 3]
Loneliness is just boredom that's mislabeled and misnamed
And sorrow isn't sadness, it's just a way of expressing shame
Life is a journey with no arrival in it at all
In every phase all along the way pride goes before a fall
Pride goes before a fall, pride goes before a fall
[Chorus]
A time to live, and a time to die
A time to laugh and a time to cry
A time for peace and a time to fight
A time to live, yes, it's time to live, 'cause you're still alive
[Outro]
You're still alive
You're still alive (still alive)
You're still alive (still alive)
So it's time to fight (still alive)
You're still alive (still alive)
Yes, you're still alive
A time to live, and a time to die
A time to live, and a time to die
A time to live, and a time to die
A time to live, so it's time to fight!
