Time Marches On - Tracy Lawrence

Sister cries out from her baby bed Brother runs in, feathers on his head Mama's in her room, learnin' how to sew Daddy's drinkin' beer, listenin' to the radio Hank Williams sings "kaw-liga" and "dear John" And time marches on, time marches on Sister's usin' rouge and clear complexion soap Brother's wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of dope Mama is depressed, barely makes a sound Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town Bob Dylan sings "like a rolling stone" And time marches on, time marches on The south moves north, north moves south A star is born, a star burns out The only thing that stays the same is Everything changes, everything changes Sister calls herself, sexy grandma Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol Mama's out of touch with reality And daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree The angels sing an old Hank Williams song Time marches on, time marches on Time marches on, time marches on

Don't close your eyes because the night is dark Don't fear the future should it black the sun There's a hope burning brighter in a fearless love There's a brighter day There's a higher Name Don't hide in silence while the truth screams out Don't fear the future shaking up this ground There's a freedom that marches in a different sound So if you have the choice If you have the voice Then lift your voice and sing If you have the breath Lift up your voice and sing If you have the heart Lift up your voice and sing If you have the faith Lift up your voice and sing If you have the love Now's the time to use it Look back no further than the Saviour's cross Look to the future like the grave is lost There's a promise returning all the stolen years There's nothing left to fear Now the King is here So lift your voice and sing If you have the breath Lift up your voice and sing If you have the heart Lift up your voice and sing If you have the faith Lift up your voice and sing If you have the love Now's the time to use it Salvation runs for everyone So open up the doors and let us sing I hear the sound march in like thunder I see the Spirit bursting out in a mighty flood Over everyone I hear the sound of sons and daughters I see the old dream wild in young imagining Young and old will dream I hear the sound of earth surrendered Wonders above and signs below For all to see We have been set free So open up the doors and sing If you've been set free Lift up your voice and sing If you have the love Now's the time to use it Salvation runs for everyone So open up the doors and let us sing Open up the doors and let us sing We've been redeemed We've been set free The time has come The fight is won The future marches in and calls us free Open up the doors and let us sing We've been redeemed We've been set free The time has come The fight is won The future marches in and calls us free Lift up your voice and sing Salvation runs for everyone So open up the doors and let us sing The time has come The fight is won The future marches in and calls us free
