Time Is The Healer
Tony Iommi/Glenn Hughes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's some people that you believe in
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
It's time to even the score

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Time Is The Healer" express the idea that time is a powerful force that can heal wounds and help to balance things out. The opening lines convey the notion that while some people are worth believing in, others are only looking to use you for their own purposes. The singer acknowledges this and asks for reciprocity in their relationship. The chorus emphasizes the importance of facing reality and making decisions to move forward, while also acknowledging the inevitability of paying a price and the existence of racial differences. The middle verse suggests a willingness to give and take in a partnership, but laments a lack of reciprocal efforts. The lyrics then call for a spiritual awakening, a new beginning, and a breaking away from the past, all with the overarching message that time is a forgiver and a healer.
