This is the time That I would like to acknowledge All of those in our lives If we could take a moment And just live up to it Own it That would be just fine Because they make these sacrifices Just to get us through the night And all of us sorted It's like who turned off the lights And I look up to my mother And a tear comes to her eye But she will be alright (Alright) And then she says Good to know Just won't make it Kid you gotta take it Into your own hands Oh my gosh It's making sense With all this time we're hangin round Sittin on the fences Good to know Just doesn't make it Kid you gotta take it Into your own hands Oh my gosh It's making sense With all this time we're hangin round Sittin on the fences The fences So take a look around you These people founded you From a conversation And how bout a holler For all of the adults Who don't get bothered When you keep them waiting What about that 7: 00 AM call Can you come get me at this place And there's a hole in the rug From all the steps that you've been pacing And I look up to my father And I thank him for his patience I finally say it I think we'll make it We finally made it We finally made it And then he says Good to know Just doesn't make it Kid you gotta take it Into your own hands Oh my gosh It's making sense With all this time we're hangin roung Sittin on the fences Good to know Just doesn't make it Kid you gotta take it Into your own hands Oh my gosh It's making sense With all this time we're hangin round Sittin on the fences The fences
