[Intro]
Do you think we have time?
Do you think we have time?
[Verse 1]
These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand
With ignorance and legitimate excuses
[Pre-Chorus]
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much, but we’re taking our chances, say
I sang in 20 years and a day
But nothing changed
The human race found some other God
And walked into the flame
[Chorus]
It's hard to love
There's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say it's much, much too late
Then maybe we should all be praying for time
[Pre-Verse 2]
Do you think we have time?
Do you?
Do you think we have time?
[Verse 2]
These are the days of the empty hand
Oh, you hold on to what you can
And charity, charity
Is a coat you wear twice a year
Yeah
This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find
That what was over there is over here
[Pre-Chorus]
So you scream from behind your door
Say, "What's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much, but I'm taking my chances, say
I sang in 20 years and a day
Cause nothing changed
The human race found some other God
And walked into the flames
[Chorus]
It's hard to love
Jesus, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
There is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time
[Outro]
Do you think we have time?
Do you?
Do you think we have time?
Lord, give us time
