There’s a time for the rich ones
There’s a time for the poor
When’s my time gonna come?
I don’t really know for sure.
Had a dream last night
Had a dream lyin' in bed
Dreamnt I was lyin' in my coffin
I dreamnt I was buried & dead
There’s a time
Well now, this I know
There’s a time
When the truth will finally show
There’s a time
But we’ve got so far to go
I know that there’s a time
In my dream I took a journey
Through the valley of the dead
There I met a stranger
These are the word he said:
Take a message to the living
Don’t you wait til it’s too late
'cause life was meant for happiness
Not for suffering and hate
There’s a time
Now it’s plain to see
There’s a time
A time for you and me There’s a time
When will it ever, ever be?
I know that there’s a time
Hear the ice down by the river (whoa-ho)
Start to break up in the dark
And the wild geese flyin' overhead
I think that it must be time to start
Put your suffering in a suitcase (whoa-ho)
You can leave it by the door
With all your bigotry and hatred
You ain’t gonna need 'em anymore
There’s a time — well now this I know
There’s a time — I know the truth will finally show
There’s a time — but I know we’ve got so far to go There’s a time — hey, hey, keep movin' on There’s a time — ah, you and I been confused too long
There’s a time — time and only time can tell us right from wrong
There’s a time — talkin' about it, talkin' about it There’s a time — time
There’s a time — yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There’s a time — mmmmm-
There’s a time — ooo hoooo
I know that there’s a time — yes there is
