Statement of Intent Lyrics by Karl Nova

For Such a Time as This

2017

Though I have been quiet
I will not stay silent
When things get tough
And they will get rough
We will not give up (nah!)
We will not give in (no!)
I do this
'cause I want to
As I come through
On the one, two
It's a hustle
It's a struggle
And I've stumbled
I've been humbled
But I'm still here
Though I feel fear
And it's real clear
Few will hear
But that's ok
'cause my sole aim
Is to blow flames
As I proclaim
Shine daily, shine on
Wise up, rise up
As time goes on
Open your eyes up
We've got love
Though they don't like us
You can't brainwash us
We're psyched up
System failure, system reboot
We're hacking and crashing
The system with truth
We've been bruised
It seems like we lose
We won't give in
We simply refuse
Though I have been quiet
I will not stay silent
When things get tough
And they will get rough
We will not give up (nah!)
We will not give in (no!)
It's a dark time
It's a cold time
Better hold tight
Still our souls shine
We are gold mines
Better go find
In your own time
In your own mind
Know your self-worth
Though you've faced hurt
And it got worse
You're blessed, not curse
Times are changing
Rearranging
It's a strange thing
It's amazing
We refuse to live our lives in fear
As the seasons change year after year
In the deep winter hope springs up
An invincible summer lives in us
When we fall like autumn
We get up
We get upset
It feels like a set up
We make stepping stones
Out of stumbling blocks
We've been stepped on
Now we step up
Though I have been quiet
I will not stay silent
When things get tough
And they will get rough
We will not give up (nah!)
We will not give in (no!)
I've felt helpless
I've felt hopeless
I've felt worthless
I've been so stressed
It's a process
I've seen progress
So I profess
That I'm so blessed
At the bottom
I felt forgotten
Downtrodden
All of a sudden
I start running
I am loving
How I'm buzzing
And overcoming
It's written in the stars though they write me off
It is written by a hand from above
The handwriting is also on the wall
Read between the lines though the writing's small
The last will be first and the first will be last
You've heard it before, this too shall pass
The sands of time in the hourglass
Keeps trickling, time is moving fast
Though I have been quiet
I will not stay silent
When things get tough
And they will get rough
We will not give up (nah!)
We will not give in (no!)
