Analysis of ALL TIME THROUGH
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
ALL TIME THROUGH
Seems time’s in short supply
Give me a sec to get the joke
I'm lost, there's a beam in my eye
All my dreams go up in smoke
Seems I'm still running back
Whenever the deck gets stacked
If I had time, I'd give you a sec
But it always runs away from me
I tell you I need to find another deck
In the smoke, dreams are free
And so I lift a prayer to the sky
Lord take this beam from my eye
Time, Lord, time just to know You
But there's never gonna be enough
Help me Fight my way through
I'll find the time though it's tough
God all I have, is just me
I give to you to be free
Time is a thief, and a gift to give
It stalks you, and remembers when
Lord I give you this moment I live
And every moment that I win
God my time, I give to you
Jesus lead me all time through
AMEN
