Time Will Tell ft. Mike Burns Lyrics

Man, time is an hourglass drippin'

Sand, no way that I can flip it

And, how much remains isn't evident

So little is in my hand

Yet so much I want to correct

Seen many fall so I'm watching my step

Was so impressed now we lost all respect

Crazy how things can change - all in a sec

Every action has a cause and effect

Some cards in my hand- but a lot in the deck

Before the check there's a cost to invest

Treasure is found, being calm and content

I ease up on the throttle- pause and reflect

All this will pass but I often forget

How does it connect? Feeling anxious

Hoping with patience it can all make sense

I'm watching and praying

And I'll be here waiting for you

It's Your will, not my will

And I know that time will tell

Moments are just like the wind

No glimpse, yet another's coming again

My hope is not set on trusting in them

Thinking that I'm without comes from within

In the mirror I saw an enemy stare

And dark forces were sending me terror

Then the world said, "you can never compare

Look around you man, it'll never seem fair"

Overwhelmed, can't move a centimeter

Bow my head, whisper the serenity prayer

Patience proves to be a friend to me here

The Future's coming, I told em' they'd better be there

We have secrets to share, I'm keenly aware

But I stopped trying to sort out the wheat and the tares

Not feeling prepared, but I'll stand longer

Till Father Time bends the knee to the grandfather

I'm watching and praying

And I'll be here waiting for you

It's Your will, not my will

And I know that time will tell

I find I must refine my hunger

Beyond size and numbers or signs and wonders

What about the true self we often hide from others?

Even with Jesus, Judas may reside among us

Surprises await when the Light uncovers

So I stay praying tryna find some brothers

Who want integrity instead of trying to come up

It's not stressing me when the silence hovers

How can I do away with words?

Good news heals when we see pain emerge

I'll weigh my words and show the way with words

What I put over time makes a change occur

One day, no avoiding the pace

Set aside what's unimportant to chase

Thankful that I will see these worries erased

And time will tell a story of grace

I'm watching and praying

And I'll be here waiting for you

It's Your will, not my will

And I know that time will tell
