Give It Time Songtext

von Patti Austin

There's a footprint that you're leaving
On the sands of time today
And I hope the tide that washes clean
Don't take it all away
There's an imprint that you're leaving
On this place we call the earth
And I hope the life you live each day
Is really all you're worth

Give it time, give it everything you've got
Though you may not have a lot, just give it time
Give it time, give yourself a chance to grow
Once you've made it, you will know,
So give it time

If your life is happy now
Then you can make it better still
If you think you're just surviving
Seek the way, you'll find the will
Do the things you have to do
To get to where you have to go
If you plant a seed of truth and love
A tree of life will grow

Give it time, give it everything you've got
Though you may not have a lot, just give it time
Give it time, give yourself a chance to grow
Once you've made it, you will know,
So give it time

Why be one of the crowd?
You could be so much more
Why not shout it out loud?
You can open the door

Cause there's a footprint that you're leaving
On the sands of time today
And I hope the tide that washes clean
Don't take it all away
There's an imprint that you're leaving
On this place we call the earth
And I hope the life you live each day
Is really all you're worth

Give it time, give it everything you've got
Though you may not have a lot, just give it time
Give it time, give yourself a chance to grow
Once you've made it, you will know,
So give it time

Though you may not have a lot, just give it time
Give it time, give yourself a chance to grow
Once you've made it, you will know,
So give it time

Give it, give it
Give it time, give it time, give it every thing you've got...
