| Certain things not change | |
| life is joy and its sorrow | |
| and Mama's always feeling the pain | |
| Daddy's always working for a brighter tomorrow | |
| under agony and strain | |
| (Ina time like now) | |
| Stand up to the face of the struggle | |
| No more will you step aside | |
| (Ina time like now) | |
| When the whole wide world is in trouble | |
| the fittest of the fittest will survive | |
| (Ina time like now) | |
| Stand up to the face of the struggle | |
| No more will you step aside | |
| (Ina time like now) | |
| When the whole wide world is in trouble | |

| Root alone nuh bear the fruit on this ya tree of living | |
| and for the loot some man a shoot | |
| for this dem need forgiving | |
| the bigger heads dem undercover | |
| guns and drugs dem shipping | |
| not even little mercy come dripping | |
| It's so hard for us to find some things we can believe in | |
| Everything around us so attractive yet deceiving | |
| Peace within ourself is worth | |
| the hardship of achieving | |
| Hold on tight till we leave | |
| (Ina time like now) | |

| Never be afraid that you might fail | |
| cause sometimes our train will come out from the rail | |
| shall not to put your soul or your body out for sale | |
| you be like a prisoner charged without bail | |
| If hope should disappear we ain't in a real of a trouble | |
| you got to keep your head up for sure | |
| And how we fit the pieces to the fit cheeks of puzzle | |
| destruction is knocking on your door | |
