| Well, well
|
| Well, well, well, well, well
|
| Oh, let me tell you
|
| Time is the one thing everybody fears
|
| It just expires with no regards to years
|
| They say time can bring about a change (listen)
|
| But I ain’t see a doggone thing
|
| But they say
|
| (Time)
|
| That’s what they tell me
|
| (It takes time)
|
| Oh, every day they tell me, y’all
|
| I keep hearing them saying
|
| (It takes time)
|
| «Peace is the answer» that’s what people say
|
| But it looks like peace is getting further away
|
| Together we stand, and divided we fall
|
| But we are still divided by that unseen wall
|
| But they say
|
| (Time)
|
| That’s what they tell me
|
| (It takes time)
|
| Ever since I was a little bitty boy, they say it
|
| (Time)
|
| That’s what they tell me
|
| (It takes time)
|
| Everyday I hear the same, the same old thing
|
| They say time
|
| They say time
|
| They say time
|
| They say time
|
| But I wanna know, y’all
|
| (How much time will it really take
|
| Before this world of ours is in a better shape?)
|
| Somebody tell me
|
| Well, well, well
|
| The day when time brings on that blessed change
|
| On, that day the whole world will sing
|
| Time will have washed all our fears away
|
| And peace will have brought us a brand new day
|
| (Time)
|
| But it takes time
|
| That’s what they tell me
|
| (It takes time)
|
| Every day, I keep hearing them telling me that
|
| (Time)
|
| That’s what they tell me
|
| (It takes time)
|
| Oh, Lord I wanna know, now |
