Praying For Time (Live)

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

I sang twenty years and a day

But nothing will change

The human race found some other guy

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 late

Then maybe we should all be praying for time

Doo-doo, ooh-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, 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

So you scream from behind your door

Say "What's mine is mine and not yours"

I may have too much, but I'll take my chances, say

I sang twenty years and a day

'Cause nothing changed

Human race found some other guy

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

Do, do, do, do, do, ooh

Do you think we have time?

Do you?

Do you think we have time?

Lord, give us time
