there’s something happening here
look around you it’s coming clear
we see young people everywhere
tellin’ us that we need to care
it’s time to stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks gather round
there’s so much change in the air
sometimes more than we think we can bear
young people speaking their minds
building so much resistance all the time
it’s time we stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather round
what a time for us to meet
all the young people in the street
singin’ songs and carrying signs
we need to be there at their side
it’s time we stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather round
so many issues strike deep
so many promises to keep
we want to let young people know we are here
to back you up in your vision so clear
we better stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather round
stop, listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather
