  • This time is gonna be different
    I heard it on the news
    Men are gonna lay their weapons down
    Women keep the right to choose

    This time is gonna be different
    People breaking out in song
    Dancing in the streets
    Singing, "Love will save us all"

    But we're gonna need each other
    To quiet the thunder
    Who do we turn to
    If we turn on each other?
    Yeah, we're gonna need each other
    In bliss and in hunger
    With chances and choices
    And dreams of tomorrow, will we rise?

    This time we're gonna do better
    If we can cool things down
    I know your tells, the warning bells
    Your thirst for higher ground
    But there's nothing gained from envy
    Or the lust to prove me wrong
    Embracing what divides us
    It'll never make us strong

    Come on, we're gonna need each other
    To quiet the thunder
    Who do we turn to
    If we turn on each other?
    Yeah, we're gonna need each other
    In bliss and in hunger
    With chances and choices
    And dreams of tomorrow, will we rise?

    Without you, despair
    With you, I still feel alone
    Until we find parallel lines
    New roads to bring us home
    So, let's lean into the trenches
    Try to reconcile the wrongs
    Learn to love a better way
    Before all goodwill is gone

    Yeah, we're gonna need each other
    To quiet the thunder
    Who do we turn to
    If we turn on each other?
    Yeah, we're gonna need each other
    In bliss and in hunger
    With chances and choices
    And dreams of tomorrow, will we rise? Writer/s: Anne Preven, Sarah McLachlan, Thomas Luke Doucet
