Is it a Matter of Time?

They say it's just a matter of time

Whenever I want what is mine

I'm told that my time will come

But I feel like it's come and gone

Do good things come to those that wait?

Is justice denied like justice delayed?

There's just one natural fact

You pay for the justice you get

I try not to get all caught up

Sometimes I feel enough is enough

You'll know if we've run out of time

Can't tell the difference

Between wrong and right

Is it a matter of time?

Is it a matter of time?

Time will tell, I've been told

But I don’t believe that anybody knows

What the future will hold

You gotta wait until you get old

I try not to get all caught up

Sometimes I feel enough is enough

You'll know when we've run out of time

I can't tell the difference

Between wrong and right

I've heard a change gon' come

I hope it's soon before, 'fore I'm gone

So I can just lay in the sun

On an island just having fun

Time's on my side, that's what I heard people say, yeah

But I believe my time has come today

I just watch the spinning wheel

To find out what time it is

Just watch the spinning wheel

Oh, yeah

Is it a matter of time?

Is it a matter of time?

Just a matter of time?

Time
