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
