This time is gonna be different
I heard it on the news
Men are gonna lay their weapons down
Women keep the right to choose

This time is gonna be different
People breaking out in song
Dancing in the streets
Singing: Love will save us all

But we're gonna need each other
To quiet the thunder
Who do we turn to
If we turn on each other?
Yeah, we're gonna need each other
In bliss and in hunger
With chances and choices
And dreams of tomorrow, will we rise?

This time we're gonna do better
If we can cool things down
I know your tells, the warning bells
Your thirst for higher ground
But there's nothing gained from envy
Or the lust to prove me wrong
Embracing what divides us
It'll never make us strong

Come on, we're gonna need each other
To quiet the thunder
Who do we turn to
If we turn on each other?
Yeah, we're gonna need each other
In bliss and in hunger
With chances and choices
And dreams of tomorrow, will we rise?

Without you, despair
With you, I still feel alone
Until we find parallel lines
New roads to bring us home
So, let's lean into the trenches
Try to reconcile the wrongs
Learn to love a better way
Before all goodwill is gone

Yeah, we're gonna need each other
To quiet the thunder
Who do we turn to
If we turn on each other?
Yeah, we're gonna need each other
In bliss and in hunger
With chances and choices
And dreams of tomorrow, will we rise?
