ALL THINGS IN TIME
Back when I was growing up
I use to have to ride in the back of the bus
Get back Stand back wait your turn
Don’t you people ever learn I said
Chorus:
All things (All things in time)
All things (All things in time)
All things (All things in time)
Help me Jesus to renew my mind
Went to the movies I was six years old
You can’t sit there is what I was told
Get back Stand back my popcorn is burned
He said no exchange no deposit no return
I said
Chorus (repeat)
Harmonica solo
One of these days and it won’t be long
The scars of the past will all be gone
I won’t have see no Jim Crow signs
My daddy kept saying all things in time he said
Chorus
Went to church one cold dark night
The topic of discussion was civil rights
The way the preacher spoke
Set my heart aflame---
Mama said I think his name is Reverend King I said
Chorus (repeat)
Don’t worry son
Don’t worry son a change gonna come
Help me Jesus to renew my mind
All things all things in time
Help me Jesus to renew my mind
All things all things in time
Help me Jesus to renew my mind
