In Our Time

There were cars and bars and airplanes

Stars in ads in magazines

Filled with places that we knew we'd never go

There were broken hearts behind closed doors

Illnesses without a cure

And madmen who called for yet another war

This was our time

Oh yes it was

Where everyone tried to hurry up

To push themselves closer to the edge

But in our time all I want to do

Is to take some time to be with you

As the jumpers walk across their little ledge

And outside in the dark

I see so many fires burning

Now baby, can you wait for me

Even though the world keeps turning

There was jealousy and tragedy

Shows about reality

But who could tell what was real anymore?

There were satellites up in the sky

Hate and lies were on the rise

Our heads were down and we chose just to ignore

This was our time

Oh yes it was

We'd bear witness to the death of love

Watching as its walls came tumbling down

But in our time all I want to do

Is to take some time to be with you

Even if it was too late for God to save us now

And outside in the dark

Embers of hope are always burning

Now baby can you wait for me

Even though the world keeps turning

And outside in the dark

My desire is always burning

Now baby can you wait for me

Even though the world keeps turning

Baby will you wait for me

Even though the world keeps turning
