Too long have we allowed the pain to continue
For men to suffer and withhold from one another
Whose right is it to steal their freedom
Act!, Act in the living present
Watching the worlds slowly perish
Fading into a silver light
Seeing the tears, of nature once more
Act!, Act in the living present
Change is unwilling by most, by all
But must be embraced to feel, to see
Give up what you have, to get what you need
Act!, Act in the living present
There is only so much time left to serve,
So many breathes left to breathe
And for that we must always
Act!, Act in the living present

An excellent verse
"There is only so much time left to serve,
So many breathes left to breathe
And for that we must always"
