So Many Times

So many times I’ve been distressed

There’ve been so many times

Times of trials and of tests

Times of reasons and rhymes

Times of reasons and rhymes

Times will pass They cannot last

Every epoch returns to dust

The present turns into the past

Times will change for change they must

Times will change for change they must

Times of darkness times of light

When the darkness to light yields

Times of grounding, times of flight

When sheaves arise from fallow fields

When sheaves arise from fallow fields

Don’t surrender your humanity

Presuppositions are undone 

So many times we choose captivity

But a time for hope will come

But a time for hope will come

Cause in the dark light is beckoning

So set your vision on that sight

Every day’s a day of reckoning

So sing the truth with all your might

So sing the truth with all your might

Times will pass They cannot last

Every epoch returns to dust

The present soon turns into the past

Times will change for change they must

Times will change for change they must

Times of darkness times of light

When the darkness to light yields

Times of grounding, times of flight

When sheaves arise from fallow fields

When sheaves arise from fallow fields
