Oh they’re movin’ in again
Hidden by the shadows and the wind
But we’ll just wait awhile and then
We’ll show ’em all that this time we ain’t giving in
Ain’t giving in

Without a care they sweep aside our dreams
To try and make way for their own
No more should we surrender to their schemes
It’s time to stand and show them we are not alone

Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
And it’s time to use it
Oh boy, use it, whoa

Well nature gave us colour, day and night
So if you’ve really got a reason then you better be right
The seasons of the year show spring and fall
But there’s nothing in the world that’s says it’s right to fight

Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
Why don’t we use it
C’mon and use it
Why don’t we use it
C’mon and use it, whoa
La, la la la laaa
La, la la la laaa
