  G                            F
I used to be a famous artist, proud as I could be.

  C                            G
Struggling to express myself, for the whole world to see.

  G                                F
I used to blow my mind sky-high, searching for the lost elation.

 C                                            G
Little did I know,the joy I was to find, in knowing I am only me.

     Bb
I'm singing in my heart, I'm singing in my heart,

     Bb
I'm singing, love to sing, I love to sing it from my heart.

           G                 F
Oh, the creation yeah, of a good time doing my part.

         C                          G
With an open-hearted laugh of realization in my mind.

     G                             F
And now I'm but a child, who art erect in humility,

  C                                          G
Serving out a love for everyone I meet, in truth who are really me.

     Bb
I'm singing in my heart, I'm singing in my heart,

     Bb                                                          C
I'm singing, love to sing, I love to sing it down from my heart...

C                         C
No, no, no, no, no, no....It's about time now, It's about time now,

Eb                                       F
It's about time now, Don't you know now, It's about time now.

F                    C
It's about time now, It's about time now Don't you know now...

C
It's about time we get together,

   Eb
To be out front and love one another,

  F
Brothers, sisters, everybody,

    Eb              F               C
We better start to help each other now, we need it now.

 C#
When we're sharing our love, brother,

 Eb                                       C#
That's when we know we can shape another world!
