In Time
Blackguard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a time for war and a time for peace
There's a time to laugh and a time to weep
A time to tear down and a time to build up
A time to be silent and a time to shout

When it's time to tear down
Will you have what it takes to make it right?
When it's time to build up
Will the fear of change make you go hide?
When it's time tobe silent
Will you listen well?

Do you hear with your ears, leave your heart open as well
There'll be a time to shout to let the whole world hear
Everything in your heart, and all that you hold dear

Here we are, but where are we and what's this all about?
To love and to hate, to fear or be brave, is this all
All in time, all in time we'll see what's really there
Beyond all the tears all the pain and your fears, we'll see

There's a time for war and a time for peace
There's a time to laugh and a time to weep
A time to tear down and a time to build up
A time to be silent and a time to shout

There's a time to mourn and a time to dance
A time to be born and then the end at last




So take this time that we have for fun
And all we have that's under the sun
