These are the times   Tears fill the back of your eyes   These are the times   The birds migrate across the skies      These are the times   What hope you had, you forget   These wicked times   You're bound to feel all sanity is lost      In these times everyone needs love   In these times do you pray to God      In these times everyone needs comfort   And would welcome a hand to hold   Compassion is the fire that burns the hurt that pains the soul   And though my eyes are so polluted   By the sight of lost desires   I can see you standing by      This is my fear   That distance will come between us   And it could mean nothing, nothing   To get from here to there      We own the world   And everything that's in it   Let our love shine   Like glistening raindrops, resting on a rose      In these times celebrate our love   In these times let's be thankful of      All the days we can spend together   And I'm happy to hold your hand   Your passion is the food that feeds the hunger in my heart   And now my eyes are clearly open   No more longing for the past   Now I have you in these times      In these times everyone needs love   In these times do you pray to God      In these times everyone needs comfort   And would welcome a hand to hold   Compassion is the fire that burns the hurt that pains the soul   And though my eyes are so polluted   By the sight of lost desires   Good to have you in these times
