Time Has Come

Now one fell asleep in the street And he never woke up Now one died in pieces In his bed with the mouth full of bones And one threatened me long ago when I saw him Melt in the bright light of day And one laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows, hey! I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still, I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Your time has come Now one took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong One got a little too depressed and he went and jumped the gun One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived But he doesn't know my name or who I am And I'm not surprised, hey! I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still, I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Yeah I've been wandering sideways And I've stared straight into the sun Still I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Your time has come, yeah! I've seen fifty thousand names all engraved on a stone Most of them, met an early grave years before I was born All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind And most of their family and friends alive, doing time I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Yeah, I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun And I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Long before your time has come Long before your time has come Your time has come

Oh Oh ohh Long for the sailor beneath the skies Long for the white dove no matter where she flies (White dove) Long for the stranger you know so well, so well (Stranger) Pray for the soldier who's wounded bad Pray for the dreamer he's still so sad Pray for the stranger you know so well 'Cause I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home) Now the time has come Oh yeah Now the time has come Oh my Oh oh oh ohh, for me to come back home Long for the eagle on wings so strong Long for the hunter he won't be long Long for the stranger you know so well (Stranger) 'Cause I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home) Now the time has come Oh yeah Now the time has come Oh my Oh oh oh ohh, for me to come back home Ohh Now the time has come Oh yeah Now the time has come Oh yeah, yeah Now the time has come I'm headin' back home again So baby, now the time has come Oh oh my So baby, now the time has come Oh oh yeah

Time has to come, oh when all will change Free your mind, oh be prepared to rearrange I don't need you, I don't need you But I'm askin' you to stay, don't go away Bein' without you, it weighs heavy on my mind I keep delvin' in my memory I can't grasp what I'm tryin' to find I can hear you, but I can't touch you Still you're with me all the time, oh yeah yeah I can hear you, but I can't touch you Still you're with me all the time, oh yes you are Take my mind in concert, oh with the Universal song Just bein' progessin', and workin' together right along We will travel and listen, and help each other along, oh yes we will In our lives, confront all problems Oh, have no fears concernin' death Easier said than done, easier said than done In summer the crops do harvest And in winter brings all the rest Look around you, be aware Truth is all that's best Not sure what it is, not sure what it is Not sure what it is We can feel the bright blue waters Oh, we can see the risin' sun Moonbeams stand around us Honeysuckle and fresh plums We are the children, stand together Treat everyone as you would yourself We are the children star, stand together Treat everyone as you would yourself, oh oh oh yeah

Between the pages It's all black and white The shades of grey nowhere to find Difference of an opinion What's wrong and what's right Dance of the dead like an ancient rite Food for your thoughts Reap what you sow Bite it to the bone There's a lesson to be learned or you Will drown in the fire Time has come to draw to line Your time has come It's the end of the line Hide in the shadows Prey for the weak Flash of the blade cut too deep Behind the curtain waiting to strike Missed the last chance The end of the fight Food for your thoughts Reap what you sow Bite it to the bone There's a lesson to be learned or you Will drown in the fire Time has come to draw to line Your time has come It's the end of the line
