The Word - Los Lobos

The Word - Los Lobos
The word's out on the street around everyone you meet
Things are not the way they used to be
There's a feeling in the air a dark cloud of despair
That hides our hearts and blinds our eyes to see
They say that it's a shame that all we do is blame
And never treat ourselves with dignity
What would we do without a hand to hold onto
With no one to call out to
What if we could behave like sisters and brothers
Like the good book says we should
It's time time time we try so hard to find
But time has no mercy on me
Just take a look at love on the wings of a dove
Gives us everything we want for free
What will you say or do when a child asks of you
What kind of world have you left here for me
Too many sleepless nights too many questions why
This is not the way it's supposed to be
What happened to the land the trees and the rivers
Some have now all gone away
What happens if we see them as sisters and brothers
Like the good Lord says we should
It's time time time we try so hard to find
But time has no mercy on me
Just take a look at love on the wings of a dove
Gives us everything we want for free
There's a word on the street from everyone you meet
Peace is the only way for us to be
There's a feeling in the air do away with this despair
Let's hear our hearts and open our eyes to see
What would we do yeah without a hand to hold onto
With no one to call out to
What if we could behave like sisters and brothers
Like the good book says we should
But it's time time time we try so hard to find
But time has no mercy on me
Just take a look at love on the wings of a dove
Gives us everything we want for free
It's time time time we try so hard to find
But time has no mercy on me
Just take a look at love on the wings of a dove
Gives us everything we want for free yeah
Ooh yeah
Yeah
