In Time
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into you life vanishing your times of gray
Baby, in time the past reveals the lessons
Maybe, in time, you'll learn to count your blessings
Baby, in time your fear is gonna fade away
We'll march in time to a lovers' hit parade
Your face, it shows hope for your sorrow,
Can somebody tell me why it takes so long to see
Does anyone know the why of life and its decree
Will somebody tell me why life goes the way it goes
Somebody may tell, but I don't think nobody knows
The lyrics of Earth Wind & Fire's song In Time speak of the power of time and its ability to heal and bring love into one's life. The first verse expresses the singer's belief that love will eventually find its way into one's life, making the tough times fade away. It acknowledges that the past may have had lessons to teach, and one can learn to count their blessings. The second verse speaks of the fading away of fear and marching towards a brighter tomorrow.
The chorus reflects the uncertainty and confusion one may feel in life. It questions the reason why life takes so long to make sense, why it unfolds in unpredictable ways, and why there seems to be no clear answers. Despite this, the song maintains a hopeful tone, indicating that time has the potential to bring change, growth, and ultimately, love.
