lyrics

I believe it's just about time
Coming up on the end of the line
Just past another roadblock sign
Leaning on its side
Burning in the sunshine

I take a turn for whatever it's worth
Where the pavement turns to dirt
Where the energy starts to perk
And the words give birth
to a new kind of earthling
I believe it's time
I believe it's time
We redefine what's normalized

I can take a scorpion sting
I can hear the butterfly wings
And the sound of the blackbirds singing
Coming through a bullhorn
Load and clear

To my neighbors on the east side
To my neighbors on the west side
All the neighbors on the north and south side
I think it's time we all look inside
I think it’s about time
I think it’s time
We redesign what's normalized

To all the souls who are graduating
A whole new world is out there waiting
Cause the old one is rapidly fading
You’ve got the tools
Go out and create it

I cannot stress the importance
To defeat and tear down the forces
Of the hate and the threat that t poses
If you choose love
than you already know this

There's a whole lot of brothers and sisters
Unable to hear all our messages
Who got a raw deal and feeling breathless
it's just fear, and fear’s defenseless
It is time
Just about time
We redesign what's normalized

There's a call to the young and the old
There's a call to the meek and the bold
A brand new story about to be told
about a dying world and how we fixed it
I believe it's time
I believe it's time
I believe it's time
We redesign what's normalized
We redesign what's normalized

Bow Thayer Vermont

Bow Thayer's music features his custom Bojotar and fuses experimental elements with Americana, rock, bluegrass, and folk, resulting in a singular, progressive sound that has earned descriptions ranging from “Green Mountain soul” to “modern backwoods music.” American Songwriter says this "onetime Levon Helm compatriot is the best artist to come from New England in recent years." ... more
