Soul Time
Joe Cocker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel life passing me by
A little more each day
We don't act out our love
In that old sweet and simple way
The world's got problems baby
We've got problems too
Why don't we work together
And see what we can do
Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time
There's still a place we can do
Inside you and me
To change our life as it is
Into life as it should be
Unless angels, baby
Answer if we call
All our hopes and dreams
They won't let us fall
Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time
We could be so fine, so fine
If we just lay it on the line this time
Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying




This time
Take a little soul time

Overall Meaning

Joe Cocker's song "Soul Time" proposes a solution to the problems of life by taking a little moment of introspection and looking inwards to find what is weighing on our minds. The opening line "I feel life passing me by, a little more each day" implies that the songwriter is struggling with the fast-paced nature of life and feels like it is getting away from them. The lyrics suggest that the love between individuals has become complicated, and they do not express it as sweetly as they used to. The world is facing many issues, and people need to focus on what they can do together to make a change.


The lyrics encourage individuals to take some time, to stop fighting and crying, and start living life to the fullest. By taking some soul time, people can work on themselves and support their loved ones. The line "There's still a place we can do inside you and me to change our life as it is into life as it should be" holds a significant meaning as it implies that change begins within oneself. The song implies that if everyone takes some soul time to work on themselves, their relationships, and their actions towards the world's problems, they can create a positive change.
