[Verse 1: Time]
I wrote this for the world I hope somebody listens
This is for the teachers with no food in their kitchen
This is for the artist that never really made it
This is for the children who are under educated
This is for history that they drowned in omission
This is for God who got hijacked by religion
This is for anyone who's ever been abused
By a loved one or a preacher in the pews
This is for that addict that's trying to get clean
This is for that kid with a ball and a dream
This is for the waitress who can't afford tuition
This is for coffee and late night ambition
This is for the writer who lost inspiration
This is for knowledge and determination
This is for the past and all the lost friends
This is for the future, right now it begins

[Hook: Maudlin Magpie]
Resist or revolt, there's only 2 choices
That's why we must shout, shout for the voiceless

[Verse 2: Time]
This is for you, this is for me
This is for sobriety, this is for society
This is for my city, this is for the skyline
This is for my family, the blood to my lifeline
This is for the working class, and the working poor
This is for the children, who are scarred by war
This is for the protester, resisting in the street
This is for the wounds from the police who beat
This is for the prisoner locked in a cell
This is for everyone with a story to tell
This is for ignorance, which is the greatest crime
This is for truth, which can't be defined
This is for reality, this is for peace
This is for forgiveness, this is for release
This is for the world, I'm going to change it with me
If you want to change the world, be the change you want to see

[Hook: Maudlin Magpie]
Resist or revolt, there's only 2 choices
That's why we must shout, shout for the voiceless
