I've been careless with my questions
Worn my burdens like a halo
Held my hopes like broken limbs
Traded peace for backward glances
Babe, you're the one who called us fighters
Time is not against us
Time is not against us
Red as a fox in the white of winter
Hauling the babies to their battles
I've been cutting my knees on the razor wire
Just to bathe in the river of desire
Babe, I'm a lady drawn to fire
Time is not against us
Time is not against us
All along we've been lighting the path we've chosen
Armed with nothing more than a match
Poor in strength but rich in spirit
Taking our torch to every shadow
Babe, you were right about tomorrow
For time is not against us
Time is not against us
Time is not against us
Time is not against us
