Let me begin by telling you
something that happened turned my head around
i took a walk on a cloudy day
i met a friend, this is what he said

now is the time for change
i¡¯m trying to get to a higher place
life is surrounded by grace
let¡¯s join together singing songs of freedom

what do you do when you gain the world
you pay the price, baby, you lose your soul
live in a world of make believe
it won¡¯t work, baby, can¡¯t you see?

now is the time for change
i¡¯m trying to get to a higher place
life is surrounded by grace
let¡¯s join together singing songs of freedom

praise.....praise

it¡¯s three o¡¯ clock in the mornin¡¯
when i¡¯m all by myself
and i feel the spirit comin¡¯ on again

now is the time for change
i¡¯m trying to get to a higher place
life is surrounded by grace
let¡¯s join together singing songs of freedom
