Georgia Lee Johnson - In a Time Like This

Papa's moving much too fast
He's building up an army vast
Waging wars we've fought in the past
But this time, we'll win
He's got a plan to lead the men
One hundred thousand and ten
Employing force and violence
Always us against them
Listen up, I'm your daughter
I still love you, my father
But I see you're having a harder time
Can you let me in

I see tears streaming down your face
Like raindrops on a sunny day
Please shine your light
You're a candle burning bright
But something's amiss
I see fear filling up your eyes
Like grey clouds across blue skies
Please part the clouds my deary
And you'll see the world so clearly
And we need clear sight more than anything
In a time like this

Mama's moving much too slow
She's paralyzed by what she's shown
Acts of terror going on below
Injustice breaks her heart
I see her struggling to find
That strength upon which she once relied
The torture that she bears inside
Is tearing her apart
Listen up, my mother
I still love you like no other
But I see that something is bothering you
Can you hear me out

I see tears streaming down your face
Like raindrops on a sunny day
Please shine your light
You're a candle burning bright
But something's amiss
I see fear filling up your eyes
Like grey clouds across blue skies
Please part the clouds my deary
And you'll see the world so clearly
And we need clear sight more than anything
In a time like this
