In the Balance (Misc)
We've been doing this for some time, but for some reason we didn't yet succeed in making the world a better place. In fact, things are looking more precarious than ever.
Which can only mean - we need to try harder to bring some balance to this planet.
Let's use these songs for our 2025 attempt, hand-picked for perfect balance by ponycargirl, who was the most active contributor to the 2024 version:
THE TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'
Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
And you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times, they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'
The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin'
The lyrics for this song were shortened by one verse to keep the community challenge difficulty at its desired level
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
Some hope for the future
Some wait for the call
To say that the days ahead
Will be the best of all
We will build bridges
Up to the sky
Heavenly lights surrounding
You and I
From out of the darkness
Our future will come
If we leave the past behind
We'll fly beyond the sun
We'll be together
Sharing the load
Watching in wonder as our lives unfold
Hope for the future
It's coming soon enough
How much can we achieve?
Hope for the future
It will belong to us
If we believe
Hope shines brightest in the dark
When nothing's ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places
No one's ever been
