NOW OR NEVER © 2019 Matthew Checker
On a rainy windy dawn, we gathered round let the spirit form
and strode forth to a place they’d claimed their own
we never knew if the tide would turn but in our hearts the fire did burn
and we stared the destruction in the eye
Around the world people standing up to corporate control, gonna break it up
the moment is now or never
On the bridges we sat in lines as the force that is meant to protect our kind
came at us and dragged our folk away
all the time we would party on because the spirit of love it has always won
and we can blast that old bad power away
Around the world people standing up to corporate control, gonna break it up
the moment is now or never
Around the world people waking up for love and to survive gonna rise up
the moment is now or never, sing together when moments are rough
Now or never, the moment is now
Now or never, the moment is now
We’ve had enough of your corporate power,
killing the Earth every minute, every hour
we’re done with your brainwashed strategies
and we will fight to free the common ground
that you took without asking those living around
to pollute rape and pillage from forest to sea
Around the world people standing up to corporate control, gonna break it up
the moment is now or never
Around the world people waking up for love and to survive gonna rise up
the moment is now or never
We’ve had enough …………
