Praying For Time Lyrics

Doo-doo-doo-doo, oh-oh
Do you think we have time?
Do you think we have time?

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

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

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 too much too late
Then maybe we should all be praying for time

Doo-doo-doo-doo, oh-oh
Do you think we have time?
Do you, do you think we have time?

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

This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here

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

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
Then maybe we should all be praying for time

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Do you think we have time?
Do you, do you think we have time?
Lord, give us time
