Time - Edwin Starr

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
