The time has come
ย
For man to sum
The very total
Of his deeds on earth, yes
ย
For he knew not the sins he lived
When the maker gave him birth
The time has come
ย
To lay down arms
ย
Try to live up to the golden rule, yes
And cast aside this greed and hate
Yes, before it's much too late
ย
Now there's quite enough
On this big earth for all
ย
Or we wouldn't be here at all
ย
So seek the truth
And praise your God
Before man get a notion
A grand big notion
That blows this earth apart
The time has come
ย
To stop and think
Try to live word of God
ย
Or without Him
Our chance, chance is slim
He can let us live or die
Oh, yes
ย
(Live or die)
He can let us live or die
(Live or die)
You know the time
(Live or die)
You know the time has come
(Live or die)
When everybody's got to realize, oh yeah
(Live or die)
That my Lord, you take it, people
(Live or die)
Could let me live or die
(Live or die)
Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(Live or die)
Let us live or die
He could block out the moon, oh yeah
(Live or die)
Turn away the light
(Live or die)
He's done it before
Live one time, one time
(Live or die)
Oh, yeah
He could let us stay
(Live or die)
Oh, yeah
Or let us die
(Live or die)
Let us live
(Live or die)
Oh, yes
Oh, oh, come on
(Live or die)
