It's the shape of things to come, it's that moment in the sun
It's the wild and reckless turning of the tide
Sure as every shout begins with a whisper in the wind
Can't deny it's quite a time to be alive
It's the changing of the guard, it's the calm before the storm
At the crossroads when you're forced to draw the line
Give some love and take a stand cause the future's in your hands
Starting once a upon a time to be alive
It's the sound of the alarm, it's the push against the grain
It's the single rebel candle that ignites a million flames
It's an ocean overflowing flooding when the levee breaks
It's when you say the sky's the limit when the ground is giving way
It's the riots in the streets, it's a war you wage for peace
It's the opposition's brazen battle cry
Through the widening divide where alliances collide
Fighting blindly for a time to be alive
It's the blazin' path you pave with each turning of a page
It's the moral of a story gone awry
It's the poetry of truth, it's a song that sings the blues
Playing softly for a time to be alive
It's the tolling of the bell, it's an echo loud and clear
It's the shackles 'round your ankles, it's the flowers in your hair
It's a floor plan for destruction, it's a road map toward repair
It's what appears along a highway leading anywhere but here
It's the progress through the cracks in a ceiling made of glass
It's a finger on the button, say goodbye
It's the anger in the crowd when they burn the cities down
In the ashes of a time to be alive
It's the point of no return, it's the lessons that you learn
It's the flags or gods or facts you stand behind
Bridge a gap or build a wall, some will rise and some will fall
Either way, oh what a time to be alive!
With our weary heads held high as we face an uphill climb
Better keep on keeping on 'cause a change is gonna come
Sing it loud, oh what a time to be alive!

Saw you at a show in greenpoint this week and I got a free shirt. Glad my friend invited me. You have a poet’s heart. Hope you get the recognition you deserve and even if you don’t, us gutter punks will sing your songs! 🌟💚🎸
Punk rock never dies.
Thank you my friend...this song gives me hope.
Matt Pless is absolutely wonderful.

I just discovered Matt Pless like 2 weeks ago and i haven't been able to listen to anything else since. Its so not my typical style but its so good. And the lyrics are always incredibly poignant

I've seen Matt live and I assure you that's all real , he's just got an amazing voice yo
This guy is a walking Bob Dylan pastiche. He needs to find a way to come into his own.
It's good, but you can't be Bob Dylan. Sorry, but, you can't.

@@clementsainton4304 Hey man, it's all good. I think Matt Pless is an artist for an almost regressive type of punk enthusiasts that are looking for something a bit softer and relatable. Joey Briggs also has this flavor of folk punk. I fear that with the inevitable resurgence of political punk, this type of sound will get drowned out by it's more edgy and hardcore cousin. PS, i also think his videos are lame. He's still my favorite solo artist though. :)
