Ditch the big umbrella, drop the weatherman facade!
What great evils have we done to thus arouse your God?
Are we not created in his image?
So do we do not things that he would do?
If it's true the candle won't burn brightly as it should,
Shouldn't we blame the candle maker too?
Why can't you leave us alone?
You say you want to help, but you are really throwing stones!
In our fun we may have done what your God won't forgive,
But this is our time to live!
This is our time for pleasure!
No one knows what tomorrow will bring.
Our hearts choose to beat a different rhythm.
Perhaps we'll pay a price, but we don't need your advice
This is our time to sing!
We are not hurting you!
If we keep to ourselves, what do you care what we do?
Sure we may be beaten with a few stripes in hell
But right now, can't you see all is well!
This is our time for pleasure!
Your religion is a white-haired man's thing!
We are proud of our hearts' new rhythm!
And if this is a crime, then just "give us a sign"
For this is our time to sing!
Lies! Lies! These are all lies to beware of!
Lies that have been spoken before!
You pit the wisdom of men against the power of God,
Shadows and truth at war.
It may seem darkness has won.
For now they blame God for the evil they have done!
He gave you Godly agency to choose what you should do,
But your choices belong to you!
This is our time for pleasure!
But will it bring happiness?
No one knows what tomorrow will bring.
You can know if you ask to know!
Our hearts choose to beat a different rhythm.
I beg you to listen - listen
Perhaps we'll pay a price, but we don't need your advice
Listen this time!
This is our time to sing!
We do not judge your sin.
And God can not destroy what's been destroyed from within!
If you saw the endless impact of your actions in review,
You would change what you so now lightly do.
This is our time for pleasure!
But will it bring happiness?
No one knows what tomorrow will bring.
You can know if you ask to know!
Our hearts choose to beat a different rhythm.
I beg you to listen - listen
This is our paradise, we don't need your advice
Listen this time!
This is our time to sing!
And what makes you think you're an isle on the sea,
When your every action moves earth's company!
Did you ignore your child today in your search for satisfaction?
Will these children with their empty eyes grow to repeat the action?
Needy children, needy people, needing love so badly,
Getting a poor substitute, living cheapened, sadly.
And how can you tell me in such a calm voice
That what you did last July was only your choice?
A burden? A trial? Yes! But you'd have made it some way.
Your child could have been here alive today!
Oh, what makes you think you're and isle on the sea,
When your actions moves the galaxy!
Lies! Lies! These are all lies to beware of!
Lies that have been spoken before!
Who said you could judge us? And who said you should rule?
And who said we should listen to a fool?
This is our time for pleasure!
But will it bring happiness?
No one knows what tomorrow will bring.
You can know if you ask to know!
Our hearts choose to beat a different rhythm.
I beg you to listen - listen
This is our paradise, we don't need your advice
Listen this time!
This is our time to sing!
