(Intro: Excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have A Dream speech, 1963) Time brings on a change Time brings on a change (Time) Brings on a change People of the world take a route To my shore every time We can't go on living the past Cause the world is a moving Kind of fast Just make sure you know Where youre going Keep in mind where youve been And whatever you do To yourself do be true And keep a lot of faith within Just remember Time brings on a change Time brings on a change Time brings on a change (Time) Brings on a change Love brings on a change Love brings on a change Time brings on a change Time brings on a change There used to be time, brother
When you couldn't call me "Black" That was according to The way were made to made to be of But, now "Black" and "Beautiful" Together are heard And that just goes to show you The power held in a word But that's alright (Time) Brings on a change Time brings on a change Time brings on a change When people say they just could'nt see how the ma** could live in equality But the day will arrive if we continue to strive and we'll sing in sweet harmony Everybody Time brings on a change Time brings on a change Time brings on a change (Time) Brings on a change Love brings on a change Time brings on a change Love brings on a change Time brings on a change
