Lyrics

Here and Today
Todd Herzog

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Darkness cannot drive out the darkness
Only light can drive that darkness away
Hate cannot drive out the hatred
Only love can bring the dawning of the day

There’s a time when peace will be upon us
The time for which our prophets await
But the time to embrace one another
Is here and today

We can’t turn our backs on the work that lies before us
Though we may not live to see fulfillment day
We can’t wait for someone else to write the chorus
Only we can say the words we’re meant to say

There’s a time when peace will be upon us
The time for which our prophets await
But the time to embrace one another
Is here and today

The blackest night is pierced by a single candle
And silence is erased by just one voice
So in this time of ignorance and anger
Let us come together and rejoice

There’s a time when peace will be upon us
The time for which our prophets await
But the time to embrace one another
Is here and today
