Michael Stanley Band - Take The Time lyrics

rate me

These are strange days we live in<br />

The nights get even worse<br />

The poets died at midnight <br />

In a New York City hearse... <br />

And the news must make you crazy<br />

It has for so long<br />

And the streets are full of fear tonight <br />

And coming on strong... <br />

<br />

You know, they're holed-up in Atlanta<br />

Broke down in L.A.<br />

They went and sold out Detroit <br />

They put half the town away... <br />

From the West Texas border<br />

To the Carolina shore<br />

You can see it in the faces <br />

There's gotta be something more... <br />

<br />

(CHORUS:)<br />

Take the time to love someone<br />

Take the time to make amends<br />

Take the time to make a stand<br />

Take the time for your friends<br />

'Cause you can't roll your own forever<br />

And somewhere, down the line <br />

You're gonna see that's all they give you<br />

So you might as well take the time... <br />

<br />

You know, they're laid off in Ohio<br />

The Heartland's under strain<br />

They're running scared in FLA <br />

And hiding out in Maine... <br />

The sons of true believers<br />

And the daughters of dreams<br />

It can shake you when you find out <br />

It ain't just what it seems... <br />

<br />

Now is the hour<br />

Tomorrow might be too late<br />

You gotta grab the moment <br />

You just can't hesitate... <br />

And you know that it's the children<br />

Gonna pay for it all<br />

And, like the man said <br />

'A hard rain's gonna fall'... <br />

<br />

(CHORUS)
