if there was ever a time

if there was ever a time to stand together

if there was ever a time

it's tonight

if there was ever a time to hold your brothers and your sisters

then the time is right

if there was ever a time to stand together

if there was ever a time

it's tonight

if there was ever a time to hold your brothers and your sisters

then the time is right

well we got into dupont circle

and we gathered in jack london square

and we thought that tram-train

and we told 'em we couldn't breathe air

if there was ever a time to stand together

if there was ever a time

it's tonight

if there was ever a time to hold your brothers and your sisters

then the time is right

we're aiming for the rooftops

beyond the river of doubt

we're arm-in-arm; sound the alarm

turning whispers into shouts

if there was ever a time to stand together

if there was ever a time

it's tonight

if there was ever a time to hold your brothers and your sisters

then the time is right

if there was ever a time to stand together

if there was ever a time

it's tonight

if there was ever a time to hold your brothers and your sisters

then the time is right

if there was ever a time to stand together

if there was ever a time

it's tonight

if there was ever a time to hold your brothers and your sisters

then the time is right

then the time is right

then the time is right
