Is There Still Time For Us

Is there still time for us?

vs 1
I wake up to a sunrise,
and a beautiful blue sky,
so many questions unanswered
I'm still left with the big why

vs 2
I see that the earth still turns,
we watch as our planet burns?
will humans never learn?
Is there still time for us?


Chorus
Is there still time for us?
Haven't we seen enough?
What happened to the way we cared
Dear God, please have patience
Listen to my earnest prayer!

Vs 3
I look to the blackened space,
I wish I could see your face,
Our past cannot be re-traced
I raise my eyes to the skies


Vs 4
I'm sure that you're still there,
Help me believe you still care,
I'll follow you anywhere,
Listen to my earnest prayer!


Chorus
Is there still time for us?
Haven't we seen enough?
What happened to the way we cared
Dear God, please have patience
Listen to my earnest prayer!


Chorus
Is there still time for us?
Haven't we seen enough?
What happened to the way we cared
Dear God, please have patience
Listen to my earnest prayer!


Chorus repeat and fade

Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/26/2021 11:06:00 AM I hope there is time enough. I guess for some, time is short. It is good to make the most of whatever time we are afforded. Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 4/26/2021 2:12:00 PM Thanks Rick I appreciate your kind visit!

Vijay Pandit Date: 4/25/2021 11:22:00 AM A bit of melancholy in your question: is there still time? We don't always know but we certainly try. That is the message your chorus delivers ---as verses explore the complexity of mind probing unanswered questions. So well written! Hope you set this to music, John. Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 4/25/2021 3:15:00 PM Thanks Vijay I always appreciate your kind visits and comments, glad you like it, music will be coming but got a few other projects first!

Alexis Y. Date: 4/25/2021 9:48:00 AM WoW! John, Your lyrics are always so relatable. I would like to believe that although mistakes have been made and bridges burned, one can still hope that things can get back to what they once were—these lyrics set to music would be a good song. Good job. Have a great day-Alexis Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 4/25/2021 9:52:00 AM Thanks Lexi, this one just flowed out, strange as I haven't wrote anything in a while. So glad you enjoyed, hopefully I'll get the music done soon, still working on a few others.
