Sign of the Times
Just stop your crying, it’s a sign of the times.
Welcome to the final show.
Hope you’re wearing your best clothes.
You can’t bribe the door on your way to the sky.
You look pretty good down here, but you ain’t really good.
If we never learn, we been here before.
Why are we always stuck and running from,
The bullets? The bullets.
We never learn, we been here before.
Why are we always stuck and running from,
The bullets? The bullets.
Just stop your crying, it’s a sign of the times.
We gotta get away from here.
We gotta get away from here.
Just stop your crying it’ll be alright.
They told me that the end is near.
We gotta get away from here.
Just stop your crying, have the time of your life,
Breaking through the atmosphere,
And things are pretty good from here.
Remember everything will be alright.
We can meet again somewhere.
Somewhere far away from here.
We never learn, we been here before.
Why are we always stuck and running from,
The bullets? The bullets.
We never learn, we been here before.
Why are we always stuck and running from,
The bullets? The bullets.
Just stop your crying, it’s a sign of the times.
We gotta get away from here.
We gotta get away from here.
Stop your crying baby, it’ll be alright.
They told me that the end is near.
We gotta get away from here.
We never learn, we been here before.
Why are we always stuck and running from,
The bullets? The bullets.
We never learn, we been here before.
Why are we always stuck and running from.
The bullets? The bullets.
We don’t talk enough, we should open up,
Before it’s all too much.
Will we ever learn?
We’ve been here before, it’s just what we know.
Stop your crying, baby,
It’s a sign of the times.
We gotta get away, We got to get away,
We got to get away, We got to get away,
We got to get away, We got to, we got to, away,
We got to, we got to, away, We got to, we got to, away.

The phrase ‘Now is the winter of our discontent’; taken from William Shakespeare’s play Richard III, is widely used to label social and political unrest, as is witnessed at this sad time, particularly in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine and Russia.
The word ‘winter’ stands as a powerful metaphor for a bleak and discouraging interval currently being experienced; while the word ‘discontent’ suggests a sudden restlessness, which for many, was not bargained for, yet now is an emerging threat to the aspirations of those who long for world peace on this planet.
The song, with lyrics shown hereunder, clearly forms the opinion, “We’re fools to make war”, while hoping for future peace.
Lyrics: By British guitarist and singer-songwriter Mark Knopfler.
Vocals: Former British rock band formed in London in 1977, by the same Mark Knopfler, and more popularly known as ‘Dire Straits’.
Brothers In Arms.
These mist covered mountains,
Are a home now for me.
But my home is the lowlands,
And always will be.
Someday you’ll return,
To your valleys and your farms,
And you’ll no longer burn to be,
Brothers in arms.
Through these fields of destruction,
Baptisms of fire,
I’ve witnessed your suffering,
As the battle raged high.
And though they did hurt me so bad,
In the fear and alarm,
You did not desert me,
My brothers in arms.
There’s so many different worlds,
So many different suns,
And we have just one world,
But we live in different ones.
Now the sun’s gone to hell,
And the moon’s riding high,
Let me bid you farewell,
Every man has to die.
But it’s written in the starlight,
And every line in your palm,
We’re fools to make war,
On our brothers in arms.

You Are The Reason.
Vocals: Singer and songwriter Calum Scott.
Lyrics: Calum Scott.
You Are The Reason.
There goes my heart beating,
‘Cause you are the reason,
I’m losing my sleep.
Please come back now,
And there goes my mind racing,
And you are the reason,
That I’m still breathing.
I’m hopeless now,
I’d climb every mountain,
And swim every ocean,
Just to be with you,
And fix what I’ve broken.
Oh, ’cause I need you to see,
That you are the reason.
There goes my hands shaking,
And you are the reason.
My heart keeps bleeding.
I need you now,
And if I could turn back the clock,
I’d make sure the light defeated the dark.
I’d spend every hour, of every day,
Keeping you safe.
And I’d climb every mountain,
And swim every ocean,
Just to be with you,
And fix what I’ve broken.
Oh, ’cause I need you to see,
That you are the reason,
I don’t wanna fight no more.
I don’t wanna hide no more.
I don’t wanna cry no more.
Come back I need you to hold me, (you are the reason).
I need you to hold me tonight.
I’d climb every mountain,
And swim every ocean,
Just to be with you,
And fix what I’ve broken.
‘Cause I need you to see,
That you are the reason.

You’ll Be In My Heart.
Lyrics: By English singer, drummer, songwriter, record producer and actor Phil Collins.
Vocals: Phil Collins Tarzan (“Tazan” Motion Picture Soundtrack)
You’ll Be In My Heart.
Come stop your crying it will be alright.
Just take my hand hold it tight.
I will protect you from all around you.
I will be here don’t you cry.
For one so small, you seem so strong.
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm.
This bond between us can’t be broken.
I will be here don’t you cry.
Chorus
‘Cause you’ll be in my heart.
Yes, you’ll be in my heart.
From this day on,
Now and forever more.
You’ll be in my heart no matter what they say.
You’ll be here in my heart always.
Why can’t we understand the way we feel?
They just don’t trust what they can’t explain.
I know we’re different but deep inside us,
We’re not that different at all.
Repeat Chorus
Don’t listen to them ’cause what do they know (what do they know)?
We need each other to have, to hold.
They’ll see in time I know,
When destiny calls you, you must be strong (you gotta be strong).
I may not be with you but you’ve got to hold on.
They’ll see in time I know we’ll show them together.
Repeat Chorus
Oh, you’ll be in my heart (you’ll be here in my heart).
No matter what they say (I’ll be with you).
You’ll be here in my heart (I’ll be there) always.
Always I’ll be with you.
I’ll be there for you always, always and always.
Just look over your shoulder.
Just look over your shoulder.
Just look over your shoulder.
I’ll be there always.

For Good
Vocals: Performed by American actresses and singers, Ms Kristin Chenoweth and Ms Idina Menzel from the Musical “WICKED“. [Book by Winnie Holzman].
Lyrics: American musical composer and theatre lyricist, Mr Stephen Lawrence Schwartz.
For Good
I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason,
Bringing something we must learn,
And we are led to those who help us most to grow, if we let them,
And we help them in return.
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true,
But I know I’m who I am today because I knew you.
Like a comet pulled from orbit, as it passes the sun.
Like a stream that meets a boulder, halfway through the wood.
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better,
But because I knew you, I have been changed for good.
It well may be that we will never meet again, in this lifetime,
So, let me say before we part,
So much of me is made of what I learned from you.
You’ll be with me,
Like a handprint on my heart and now whatever way our stories end,
I know you have rewritten mine, by being my friend.
Like a ship blown from its mooring, by a wind off the sea.
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood.
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better,
But because I knew you, because I knew you,
I have been changed for good.
And just to clear the air,
I ask forgiveness for the things I’ve done, you blame me for,
But then I guess, we know there’s blame to share,
And none of it seems to matter any more.
Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes the sun (by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird),
Halfway through the wood (in the wood),
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better.
I do believe I have been changed for the better and because I knew you.
Because I knew you. Because I knew you.
I have been changed for good.
