Poetry and Protest

from Poetry and Protest by Tom Alter

lyrics

Take your time
Take your times to take in all the beauty
Take your time
Take the time to stand against the ugly
Because it's alright, alright
Taking time just sharing in some laughter
But it is not right, not right
If the joke is at the expense of another
There's more to this life than filling all your needs
There's more to the story than your diary
Take some time getting out of your own head
Take some time for poetry and protest

There's a song
Waiting for your voice to amplify
There are wrongs
You may right if you open up your eyes
