"The Time It Is Today"
(Russ Giguere)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
Very complex and personal, an excellent work by Russell Giguere. At
times very pastoral, at times very angry, one man's plea for humanity to
"wake up".

Verse 1:
Cmaj7 Em9
Sunrise, sunset
Cmaj7 Em9
What you're born with is what you get
G CaddD G CaddD
Let your fear just pass away
G CaddD G Cmaj9
Then your love will fill your days
Em9
I know
Verse 2:
I need so little, yet so much
Child's sweet laughter, woman's touch
I can't say just what is real
All I know is what I feel
I know
Bridge:
D7
(Ba-ba-ba...) The time it is today
And we must find our way
My heartbeat clearly states
The answer's not in hate
G/B G A
I once believed that love was but a dream
D7
But now I know
G/B G A
That love's a flowing stream
Bm
They're lying, killing, they're pushing their rules
G
They tell me the prophets all were just fools
Bm
But I know different and I won't be used
G
It's they that are lost
Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9
It's they are confused
(They are confused)
(They are confused)
Verse 3:
Sunrise, sunset
What you're born with is what you get
All your world is all your fears
They don't change, but pass in years
Em9 E [end cold]
I know
