[Verse 1]
[Gentleman]
It’s a wonderful world
And bare mad people
Beautiful world but bare sad people
We seeking sense, searching for reason
Everybody trying to be even
[Ky-Mani Marley]
A wonderful world
And pure mad people
Beautiful world and pure sad people
Mistrust and accusation of treason
But people still a change like the seasons

[Verse 2]
[Gentleman]
So many rainy days but still I see no water
Fathers cyaa protect them son, cyaa protect them daughter
We need a likkle spark so we can be the fire starter
Bring back the joy so we can remember the laughter
[Ky-Mani Marley]
Wish you did take it slow, instead of going faster
What could be a joy, could turn out inna disaster
If them knock you down you get back up with the bruise and the cuts
For every wound there is a plaster
[Chorus]
[Gentleman]
These are the signs of the times
Who is marching on who resign
Who will accept, who decline
[Ky-Mani Marley]
These are the signs of the times
It is time for us to define
Who destroys, who design

[Gentleman]
Society heartless some things need to address
The system so stink and leave this place in a mess
Man cuff we dream and place it under arrest
Mi wuda like fi see what you have under you chest
[Ky-Mani Marley]
Is it a heart you have, is it a stone
Is this paradise tell me if I can call this home
We walking in the crowd but I still feel alone
We born by we self and we’re leaving on our own

(Beautiful world, beautiful world
Wonderful world, Beautiful world)

[Chorus]
[Gentleman]
These are the signs of the times
Who is marching on who resign
Who will accept, who decline
[Ky-Mani Marley]
These are the signs of the times
It is time for us to define
Who destroys, who design
(Signs of the time, signs of the time, signs of the time)
