Why Now, Why Us

This is our time, this is our call —Why now? Why us? We are the change agents in the world. 

The clock ticks loud in a city street,

Shadows stretch long where the old day fades.
Voices rise up from the quiet alley,
We're knocking hard on a locked-up gate.

The world's turned night to the day,

  the sunshine warms up the sky.
the light beam breaks through the darkness.
Every vision we convey, every line we drew,
Led us here, to what we can make.

Why now? 

Because the time won't wait.
Why us?

 Because we're the ones who face the challenges.
We stand at the edge of something new,
With the truth at our sight and the world to build.
Why now? Because the call is clear.
Why us? Because we're the ones who dare to create a new normal.
This is the moment, 

this is the spark of new ideas
Why now? Why us?

 It’s an imperative to -

bridge the world of differences.

We've been the ones who waited, watched,
Held the hope when the road was tough.
Now the air is thick with light and sound,
We're the ones who lift it up, not bound.

The past is heavy, 

but it's not the end,
It's the story that made -

us who we are
Everything breaks and everything bends,
We're the ones who continue to explore the world 

Why now? Because the time won't wait.
Why us? 

Because we're the ones who face the weight.
We stand at the edge of something new,
With the truth on our sides and the vision to build.
Why now? Because the call is clear.
Why us? Because we're the ones who dare to challenge conventional wisdom
This is the moment, this is the spark —
Why now? Why us? Lighting up the shadow of darkness.

When the night is long and the path is steep,
We remember why we promised to keep.
One more step, one more try,
One more dawn, one more light.

Why now? Because the stars align.
Why us? Because we're the ones who make the line.
We're the bridge between the old and new,
With our hands out wide and the world to see through.
Why now? Because the world is real.
Why us? Because we're the ones who know how to think and feel.
This is our time, this is our call —
Why now? Why us? We are the change agents in the world.

Why now? Why us?
The question is thought provocative, the answer's here

Why now? Why us?
Let's believe in ourselves with value and trust, co-solve problems to advance human world.
