Just a Little Time Songtext
von Archie Roach

Our country been dying, so have we
And people still trying to be free
Elders are crying for you and me
So why are we trying not to see?

Ohh, time, that′s all we ask
Just a little time for the feeling
Ohh, time, that's all we need
Just a little time for the healing to begin

People are sleeping at your feet
And children are weeping in the street
Cheaters are cheating on the cheat
Why are we eating this bitter fruit?


Ohh, time, that′s all we ask
Just a little time for the feeling
Ohh, time, that's all we need
Just a little time for the healing to begin

So please just give us one more day to try to find a better way
To gather all who's gone astray into our loving arms
It′s up to no one else, you see
Nobody else but you and me
To give us back our liberty
And keep us safe from harm

People are sleeping at your feet
And children are weeping in the street
Elders are crying to you and me
And why are we trying not to see?

Ohh, time, that′s all we ask
Just a little time for the feeling
Ohh, time, that's all we need
Just a little time for the healing to begin
To begin
