Chris Haise Band - I Got That Time Now Lyrics

If I'd a had this time before the world fell apart
Imagine all the things that I'd be good at
If I'd a been this free before the end times took their start
I'd stopped standing still to chew the fat
Could have taught myself to love
Reconciled blood and bone
I've got that time now
But my time ain't my own
If I'd have known just how fragile what I had to hold was
Would I have worked any harder to fill the gaps
If I'd have known how bad the damn was in need of shoring up
I would have stopped using that river to swim laps
I'd have found a friend or two
Pull the weeds before they'd grown
I got that time now
But my time ain't my own
If I could see where we're heading when we finally make it through
What excuses will I have that you'd believe
If we can understand that we decide what we can't do
May there never be an end to what we achieve
For now I'll put it through the pen
Dream of reaping what I'll sow
I got that time now
But my time ain't my own
