Tempo Só (Time Will Tell)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
JAH would never give power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! Time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell (3x)
Time alone, oh! Time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Back them up, oh not the brothers
But the ones, who set them up
Time alone, oh! Time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell (3x)
Time alone, oh! Time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Oh children weep no more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Saw you settle the score
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more
JAH jamais permitirá que as mãos do terror
Venham sufocar o amor
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Dirá se irei luz ou permanecerei pó
Se encontrarei Deus ou permanecerei só
Se ainda hei de abraçar minha vó
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Time alone, oh! Time will tell
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Time alone, oh! Time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
