In Time
In Time's Symphony: Embracing Life's Rhythms
Lyrics
There's a time for war and a time for peace
There are specific times for engaging in war and times for pursuing peace.
There's a time to laugh and a time to weep
There are moments to express joy and times to experience sorrow.
A time to tear down and a time to build up
There's a time for destruction and a time for construction.
A time to be silent and a time to shout
There's a time for silence and a time for vocal expression.
When it's time to tear down
When the need is to dismantle or break down, do you possess the courage to set things right?
Will you have what it takes to make it right?
Will you have the qualities required to rectify the situation?
When it's time to build up
When it's time to construct or build, will the fear of change lead you to conceal yourself?
Will the fear of change make you go hide?
Is fear of change going to make you retreat and hide?
When it's time tobe silent
During moments of silence, will you be attentive and listen carefully?
Will you listen well?
Are you open to listening effectively when it is necessary to be silent?
Do you hear with your ears, leave your heart open as well
Listening involves not just your ears but keeping your heart open as well.
There'll be a time to shout to let the whole world hear
There will be occasions when shouting is necessary to make your feelings known to the world.
Everything in your heart, and all that you hold dear
Express everything in your heart and what you hold dear when the time is right.
Here we are, but where are we and what's this all about?
Reflecting on the present, questioning our location and the purpose of our existence.
To love and to hate, to fear or be brave, is this all
Life involves experiencing both love and hate, fear and bravery - is this the essence of it all?
All in time, all in time we'll see what's really there
Over time, everything will become clear, revealing the truth of what really exists.
Beyond all the tears all the pain and your fears, we'll see
Looking beyond pain, tears, and fears, clarity will emerge.
There's a time for war and a time for peace
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of war, peace, laughter, weeping.
There's a time to laugh and a time to weep
Reiterating the dualities of life - war and peace, laughter and weeping.
A time to tear down and a time to build up
Reaffirming the cycles of destruction and construction in life.
A time to be silent and a time to shout
Reaffirming the need for both silence and expression in different situations.
There's a time to mourn and a time to dance
There's a time for mourning and a time for joyous celebration.
A time to be born and then the end at last
Life has a beginning (birth) and an inevitable end (death).
So take this time that we have for fun
Encouraging the utilization of the present time for enjoyment and fun.
And all we have that's under the sun
Make the most of what we have in this life under the sun.
