Written by: John Mellencamp and George M. Green



See the moon roll across the stars

See the seasons turn like a heart

Your father's days are lost to you

This is your time here to do what you will do



Your life is now your life is now your life is now

In this undiscovered moment

Lift your head up above the crowd

We could shake this world

If you would only show us how

Your life is now



Would you teach your children to tell the truth

Would you take the high road if you could choose

Do you believe you're a victim of a great compromise

'Cause I believe you could change your mind and change our lives



(repeat chorus)



Would you teach your children to tell the truth

This is your time here to do what you will do



(repeat chorus twice)
