There Comes A Time lyrics

I see no cause for celebration

When I look around the nations

There's a lot of rearranging

But is it really changing

Are the rich just getting richer

And the poor just getting less

I see no signs of a transformation

From that old manipulation

Some people go to war

Never knowing what it's for

Their leaders have a reason

And they keep it to themselves

There comes a time

To find out where we're going

To go on without knowing

That would be the saddest thing

There comes a time

To question those we follow

Are they thinking of tomorrow

And what tomorrow may bring

I see no greater dedication

To the need for conservation

Do the creatures great and small

Mean nothing much at all

Do we treat the world around us

Like it couldn't matter less

There comes a time

To find out where we're going

To go on without knowing

That would be the saddest thing

There comes a time

To question those we follow

Are they thinking of tomorrow

And what tomorrow may bring

So I see no cause for celebration

When I look around the nations

Are we selfish, are we blind

Do we simply fall in line

The winners are the grinners

And the losers suit themselves

There comes a time

There comes a time

There comes a time
