Song Lyrics

We have time for racism
We have time for criticism
Held bondage by our ism's
When will there be a time to love?

We make time to debate religion
Passing bills and building prisons
For building fortunes and passing judgments
When will there be a time to love?

At this point in history
We have a choice to make
To either walk a path of love
Or be crippled by our hate

We have time to cause pollution
We have time to cause confusion
All wrapped up in our own illusions
When will there be a time to love?

We make time to conquer nations
Time for oil excavation
Hatred, violence and terrorism
When will there be a time to love?

At this moment in time
We have a choice to make
Father God is watching
While we cause mother earth so much pain
It's such a shame

Not enough money for
The young, the old and the poor
But for war there's always more
When will there be a time to love?

We make time for paying taxes
Or paying bills and buying status
But we will pay the consequences
If we don't make the time to love

Now's the time to pay attention
Yes, now is the time to
Love
Love
A time to love
Love
A time to love

Please, won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love?
Please, won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love?

Please, won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love?
Please, won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love?

Will there be a time to love?
When will there be?
When will there be
(A time to love) a time to love? Yeah

When will there be?
When will there be
(A time to love) a time to love? Yeah

When will there be?
When will there be
(A time to love) a time to love? Yeah

I ain't tryna hurt nobody
I just wanna ask somebody
(A time to love) to be love
'Cause I'm peace

So all you prime ministers of the world
All you presidents of the world
All you, all kings and queens (a time to love)
If you can't get it together I'd love to bring peace to the world

(When will there be?)
What time really is it?
(A time to love) a time to love, yeah

When will there be (when will there be)
When will there be
(A time to love) a time to love?

When will there be (when will there be)
When will there be
(A time to love) a time to love?
A time to care
A time to feel (when will there be)
A time to share? (when will there be)
I said, a time to love?
A time to care?
A time to feel? (when will there be)
And a time to share? (when will there be)
(A time to love) a time to love?

Listen I ain't gotta say no more about it
'Cause when the mothers of the worlds decide
They don't wanna see their children die anymore, haha
Then the wars will stop
That's right, it will stop

And when the wives of the world decide
They don't wanna see their husbands
And husbands and their wives die anymore
Then the wars will stop
That's right, they'll stop

Yeah, when the sisters of the world decide
They don't wanna see their brothers
And brothers their sisters die anymore
Then the wars will stop, haha
They'll stop

'Cause like my friend Kevin Nash said
"It's not about the religion, it's about the relationship"
(A time to love)
And we out, we out, we out
