there’s something happening here
look around you it’s coming clear
we see young people everywhere
tellin’ us that we need to care

it’s time to stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks gather round

there’s so much change in the air
sometimes more than we think we can bear
young people speaking their minds
building so much resistance all the time

it’s time we stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather round

what a time for us to meet
all the young people in the street
singin’ songs and carrying signs
we need to be there at their side

it’s time we stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather round

so many issues strike deep
so many promises to keep
we want to let young people know we are here
to back you up in your vision so clear

we better stop // listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather round

stop, listen, what’s that sound?
listen to the young folks, gather
