Michael Stanley Band: Take the time [lyrics]


Michael Stanley Band: Take the time [lyrics]

Michael Stanley Band

Take the time


These are strange days we live in
   The nights get even worse
The poets died at midnight--
   In a New York City hearse...
And the news just makes you crazy
   It has for so long
And the streets are full of fear tonight--
   Coming on strong...

You know, they're holed-up in Atlanta
   They're broke down in L.A.
They went and sold out Detroit--
   Puttting half the town away...
From the West Texas border
   To the Carolina shore
You can see it in the faces--
   There's gotta be something more...

 And what we got to do, we got to...
 Take the time to love someone
 Take the time to make amends
 Take the time to make a stand
 Take the time for your friends
    'Cause you can't roll your own forever (oh no baby)
     Somewhere, down the line--
     You're gonna see that's all they give you
     So you might as well take the time...

You know, they're laid off in Ohio
   The Heartland's under strain
They're running scared in FLA--
   and they're hiding out in Maine...
And all the sons of true believers
   The daughters of dreams
And it can shake you when you find out--
   It ain't just what it seems...

 And we got to...
 Take the time to love someone
 Take the time to make amends
 Take the time to make a stand
 Take the time for your friends
    'Cause you can't roll your own forever (oh no, baby)
     Somewhere, down the line--
     You're gonna see that's all they give you
     So you might as well take the time...

Now is the hour
   Tomorrow might be too late
You gotta grab the moment--
   You just can't hesitate...
Cause you know that it's the children
   gonna pay for it all
Like the man said--
   "A hard rain's gonna fall"...

 And what we got to do, we got to...
 Take the time to love someone
 Take the time to make amends
 Take the time to make a stand
 Take the time for your friends
    'Cause you can't roll your own forever (oh no, no, no)
     Somewhere, down the line-- (on down the line)
     You're gonna see that's all they give you
     So you might as well take the time...

  Take the time
   Take the time
    Take the time
     Take the time

 Take the time for your friends
    'Cause you can't roll your own forever
     Somewhere, down the line-- (somewhere down the line)
     You're gonna see that's all they give you
     So you might as well take the time...
  
  You might as well take the time

  Take the time
   Take the time
    Take the time
