Lyrics
Take your time
'round the hill
Take your time
only the good Lord will
Take your time
but don't be still
Take your time but don't take mine
I see it there
in your eyes
I see it there
behind your thin disguise
big as life and
twice your size
I see it there
it's the expression of a child
CHORUS
Take your time but don't take mine
I'm still lookin' for my sign
I-have-only
one life to live
one dream to give
Everything running wild
everything is the expression of a Child
a paradise man has defiled
I see a tear on the expression of a child
CHORUS
