Time Is The Healer
Iommi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And some people want you for more
And I won't deceive you
Just let me receive the same thing, we're both looking for
Time to face the real life
Time to open the door
Time to make decisions
Time to kill the sadness
Time just can't be denied
Time to make you wonder
And time to cast it aside
Inside the garden of plenty
Is a price that we'll all have to pay
There is a race with no color
Now I want you to hear what I say
Won't you bring me some water
And I will give you my blood
But you won't give me your time
Now have I been misunderstood?
Time to catch your spirit
Time to find who you love
Time to find a new beginning
Time will fall from above
Time outside of the mirror
Time to break away
'Cause time is the forgiver
And time will show you the way, oh, yes it will
Time
You know, I have nothing planned
I want you to understand
Now won't you just let it be?
'Cause time heals your memory
Well, time is the healer
Time, time, time is the healer
Time to catch the real life
Time is the healer
Time is the healer

The bridge touches on the idea of sacrifice and exchange. The artist asks for water and promises to give blood, but observes that people are not willing to give their time.
