I believe in the stories of the stars And times like these, constellations carry me I'm almost past I believe that the Milky Way still flows And times like these, dreaming carried forward with us The spirit grows And I believe in the wisdom of my boy Just ten years old He said: I believe when a star burns out a child is born And I believe in the people standing tall And times likes these, hands raised with intention To heal the world And I believe we can breath in the magic of our Earth And I believe we can exhale anything we feel we didn't deserve I believe there was a man called Jesus Christ And in times like these he said: treat each other equally In times like these And I believe in the words of the Dali Lama In times like these, with peace and love and unity In times like these And I believe in the movement of the tide In times like these And the mysteries of the moon In times like these I believe in the circuit of the sun In times like these And its magnetic properties And human beings And I believe in a simple thing called love In times like these When a women finds a man and they can be In times like these And I believe that the spirit is reborn when we die With no burden of the body We're free to fly And I believe in the people standing tall And times likes these, hands raised with intention To heal the world To heal the world

The lakes and pines, they bleed of beauty and grace And the rivers, they run wild like an endless race The forests soar so high then fall to the sea As church bells ring and sing in harmony I heard them say they're shutting Detroit down But I won't leave 'cause this is my hometown And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind With the memories of what was and what has been The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues There were 17 colors for a Chevy, all red, white and blue I heard them say that you can't save that town But I won't leave, I will stand my ground And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above 'Cause in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love And I was here watching it all go down And I'll still be when it comes back around And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these It makes us who we are in times like these

Sitting on the front porch Rain is pouring down News comes on the radio There's trouble all around That's the way it always been And the way it'll always be I thank the good Lord I've got you In times like these The rich keep getting richer The poor barely get by Farmer Johnson says it's either Too wet or too dry Jobs are scarce down at the factory I thank the good Lord I've got you In times like these In times like these When it's easy to get down You're my inspiration You're my solid ground In times like these Love will pull us through Baby, I know I can depend on you We can read about the latest In the fashion magazines But that don't change the fact That we got patches on our jeans Everybody's needing money Even the preachers preaching on TV I thank the good Lord I've got you In times like these In times like these When it's easy to get down You're my inspiration You're my solid ground In times like these Love will pull us through Baby, I know I can depend on you It costs you forty-five cents For a nickel candy bar And a dollar's worth of gas Won't even start your car Yeah, we got problems Here in the land of free But there's no place I'd rather be In times like these I thank the good Lord I've got you In times like these In times like these, baby (Baby) In times like these In times like these

A young girl give me a good luck charm Put a snake on my neck and a bird on my arm Got one good leg 'cause the other went south Got a brand new crutch and a brand new mouth I got a sheriff's name branded where I should have kept clean If you get to close, you're going to know what I mean And I know when I'm older the only runnin' gonna come Away from my lips and the fork of my tongue It only gets to me in times like these And times like these are getting to me Put your hand in the oven, there's a heaven inside And it burns straight through but the devil don't mind Because he takes what he wants and he find what you hide And it will buy you a place on the Lower East Side, child I rolled a number last night and I walked in my sleep And I could feel all the nerves in the tips of my teeth As they crumbled into dust and washed into the sea I finally shut my mouth so I could hear myself think, saying It only gets to me in times like these It only gets to me in times like these It only gets to me in times like these And times like these are getting to me
