Our country been dying, so have we And people still trying to be free Elders are crying for you and me So why are we trying not to see? Ohh, time, that's all we ask Just a little time for the feeling Ohh, time, that's all we need Just a little time for the healing to begin ♪ People are sleeping at your feet And children are weeping in the street Cheaters are cheating on the cheat Why are we eating this bitter fruit? Ohh, time, that's all we ask Just a little time for the feeling Ohh, time, that's all we need Just a little time for the healing to begin
So please just give us one more day to try to find a better way To gather all who's gone astray into our loving arms It's up to no one else, you see Nobody else but you and me To give us back our liberty And keep us safe from harm ♪ People are sleeping at your feet And children are weeping in the street Elders are crying to you and me And why are we trying not to see? Ohh, time, that's all we ask Just a little time for the feeling Ohh, time, that's all we need Just a little time for the healing to begin To begin
