These Are the Times

[Verse 1: James Young] I hear voices from beyond the veil They reverberate in mystery There are shadows in my heart, oh And they multiply in memory And the comrades that I've lost out there From the scattered ruins still speak to me [Pre-Chorus: James Young] If the flickering light of your campfire dims The world grows smaller, it's closing in I'm standin' here, and I want you to live [Chorus] (I know) These are the times we find out who we really are This will be when a true friend stands at your side Someone like me who wants to believe In the days of high times and innocence Drawing the lines and shouting back to the night Someone like me who wants you to live [Verse 2: James Young (with Tommy Shaw)] And from those who've seen the light beyond We know the end will bring tranquility But the voices of the friends they heard Brought them back to this reality [Pre-Chorus: James Young] Though the beacon of light in your life seems dim The sun's coming up on the world we're in There are choices here, and I want you to live [Chorus] (I know) These are the times we find out who we really are This will be when a true friend stands at your side One more like me who wants to believe In the truth of all we experienced To live again, to jump back into the fight Someone like me who wants you to live [Bridge: Tommy Shaw] Pouring light from the sky Portends you and I Disappears in the night (I still remember) [Verse 3: James Young] I hear voices from beyond the veil Like a faint, unfinished symphony [Pre-Chorus: James Young] Though the beacon of light in your life seems dim The sun's comin' up on the world we're in I'm standin' here, and I want you to live [Chorus] (I know) These are the times we find out who we really are This will be when a true friend stands at your side One more like me who wants to believe In the truth of all we experienced To live again, to jump back into the fight Someone like me who wants you to live [Outro: James Young] I want you, I want you, (I want you to live) I want you, I want you, I want you to live I want you to live (I still remember)
