One two three four Lookie here I’ve been inside of a jail I’ve been inside of church I sold everything From mention to merch I can't’ recall All I the people I’ve known I’ve been all over Europe From Paris to Rome I can’t remember All the colors I’ve worn There’s been some times I regret I was born But my time will come I hope my time will come I believe my time will come I surely believe my time will come Lookie here My schooling's been short But my learning’s been long Thank God I learned the difference between right and wrong Dreams only come true to a precious few Deserving gifts that wrong hard, working hard can give My time will come I believe my time will come I truly believe my time will come x4
