Lyrics

THERE’S A TIME
words & music by Grayson Hugh

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
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
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
