This Day and Time
This Day and Time
Was listening to Bernie and hearing
songs being sung by Harry Belafonte.
So sentimental his songs seemed to me
When were heard what I wanted to be
My Savior close and near from now on
And did find His face in each new dawn.
What about both Belafonte and Bernie
In island of sun while going on a journey
Taken to see new dawn and setting sun
From time immemorial where it had begun.
Long ago sang song that was to be his last
Now each one of them are living in the past
Had forgotten things that once were realistic
Now dreaming about world that is idealistic.
What was said in long ago bygone days
They had been immersed with much praise
Thought that they were divine and sublime
And now must live in this era, day and time.
