Here's the poem in written form, words that you can read yourself:

Our Time Has Come
By Charlie Shread 

Here's a request:
Let's involve all and wholly evolve;
use networked thinking and planning to solve
problems too hard for our leaders to crack,
and obstacles so tough they just can't hack.
Let's build platforms that are open and free,
and obsolete this old system shall be. 

We've been passengers from the day we were born,
without our word, we were sworn
to a system that does not respect
humanity before the sect;
a small group, a few, it seems, that
neglect the prospect of a collective intellect.

The puppets of the chiefs say we are free, 
yet freedom's sold and bought back with money.
They claim we are free, but we know we're not.
We've seen through the smile
and arrogant denial,
we're used to the lies
and policy surprise!

Let's rid ourselves of dogma and baggage, 
let go of ego, blame and shame,
Let's find our living, feeling human being
and make the silver lining happen;
each moment is an opportunity,
a chance to give a hand, a hug,
build a dream.

My friends,
feel hope through your veins and fire in your belly,
get off your arses and ignore the telly,
let’s grow edible plants on every street!
Switch your bank. 
Share plans of different ways this world can be,
beyond poverty, war and greed.

We are, my friends, my fellow people, 
Here.
No longer sleeping, 
we wake up together,
with woven minds and connected hearts,
this is how the real revolution starts. 

We say proud and clear "we have no fear,
for we are an idea who's time is here,
we are the young in the arms of the wise,
we are the tide and the landslide,
the sunrise and the sunshine,
the dream and the vision, the lightspeed collision,
we are the people who were born to fly, 
so let us rise and lead the dance of change."

We are one family alive with love,
able to learn and grow together.
Let's cry:
Yes! We are the change and the wonderful life!
Yes! We are a powerful force and our time has come!
