Just In Time
Heaven and Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like the music's falling down
Sometimes I just don't want to be here
I'm sick of what I'm hearing now
Wishing we could just go back in time
When rock had the purpose in life
I'm just a lost generation, living my imagination
I'm losing my own faith for the century
On rock and roll
I want to start a revolution
I want my own voice to be heard
Rock and roll should never be forgotten
It's up to you to save this fight
Wishing we could just go back in time
When rock had the purpose in life
I'm just a lost generation, living my imagination
I'm losing my own faith for the century
On rock and roll
On rock and roll
Is it the end right now
Or are we going to turn it around
I don't want to make this music die
So let's bring it back to life
Wishing we could just go back in time
When rock had the purpose in life
I'm just a lost generation, living my imagination
I'm losing my own faith for the century
On rock and roll
On rock and roll
On rock and roll
The lyrics of Heaven and Earth's song "Just in Time" express the frustration of the singer with the contemporary music scene, which they perceive as lacking purpose and substance. The modern generation is criticized for failing to appreciate the power of rock and roll, which the singer believes has the potential to start a revolution and give voice to the disenfranchised. The repetition of the phrase "on rock and roll" emphasises the singer's belief in the transformative power of music, which they see as a salvation from their sense of disillusionment and despair.
The song's chorus expresses the desire to "go back in time" when rock "had purpose in life," highlighting a nostalgia for a bygone era when music was more authentic and meaningful. The singer sees themselves as part of a "lost generation" who are "losing their own faith for the century," suggesting a sense of hopelessness and alienation from the wider culture. However, the song ends on a more optimistic note, with the suggestion that it may still be possible to "turn it around" and bring rock and roll "back to life."
Overall, "Just in Time" is a powerful call to arms for anyone who feels disaffected by the state of contemporary music. It urges us not to give up on the transformative and revolutionary potential of rock and roll, but instead to embrace it as a means of expression and empowerment.

Great album: ...Chicago's "Heaven & Earth" was one of those soul groups that should have been big stars, but due to an unhappy time, poor management, an endless series of personal problems and other misfortunes, they never managed to break out of their home Chicago . The members were: Michael Brown - vocals (tenor) (1974-77) - Dwight Dukes - vocals (falsetto) (1974-82) - James Dukes - vocals (bass) (1974-82) - Greg Rose - vocals (baritone) (replaced Dean Williams) (1978-82) - Keith Steward - vocal (tenor and baritoner) (-82) - Dean Williams - main vocal (baritone) (replaced Michael Brown) (1978) ... They released four albums ..
