Lyrics

People all around the world

People worldwide

Understand what's bad and good

Have a universal understanding of right and wrong

Now's the time to show up

It's time to participate or take action

Lost time to make up

Opportunity to compensate for lost time

You can sense it on the street

Social awareness evident in the streets

Pushing back at authority

Resistance against authority


People all around the world

People globally acting responsibly

Just doing what they should

Fulfilling their expected roles

They know what it's all about

Understanding the essence of life

Now's the time to make it count

Now is the time to make a difference

You can sense it on the street

Observing societal consciousness

Pushing back at authority

Pushing against established authority


People climbing skyward stairs

Individuals striving for success

Deciders of their fate

Determining their destinies

You can see it everywhere

Evidence of change everywhere

Change is in the air

Air of transformation


International power

Global influence and power

Of people all around the globe

People worldwide share this influence

We're really all the same

We are fundamentally similar

We think global and stake that claim

Embracing a global perspective

You can see it on the street

Social resistance visible

Pushing back at authority

Challenging established authority


The barkers and the house of mirrors

Critics and illusions of reality

The map shows where to stay clear

Guidance on where to avoid

The suppression and the whisper campaigns

Oppression and subtle propaganda

The word is now and the word is change

The time for change is now

You can sense it on the street

Perceived in everyday life

Pushing back at authority

Opposition to established authority


People climbing skyward stairs

Individuals pursuing success

Deciders of their fate

Shapers of their destinies

You can see it everywhere

Manifestation of change everywhere

Change is in the air

Air of transformation


Earthbound and down in the lost and found

Grounded and lost individuals

Bohemian tale as old as time

A timeless, unconventional story

The wild life and the theater of the mind

Vivid experiences and imaginative reality

Anchors away in a ray of light

Setting sail towards enlightenment


You can see it on the street

Visible resistance in society

Pushing back at authority

Challenging established authority


You can see it on the street

Resistance seen in everyday life

Pushing back at authority

Opposition to established authority
