Only Time Will Tell

Only Time Will Tell
Are we gonna make it
You could almost see it on their faces
For the second time they’re making
Promises they’re both guilty of breaking

But this feeling that they’re feeling
There’s no doubt that it’s real
As honest as the wedding chapel bells
Are they gonna make it, only time will tell
Time, could you help ‘em out
Maybe let ‘em know what lies ahead
What the future holds
Take the fear away, just a little hope
The uncertainty, it’s a heavy load
You can see ahead, you can see the past
Like grains of sand in an hour glass
Only you can tell, they could use your help
Is he gonna make it
Then ten months, eleven days and counting
And that hill of acclamation
Somewhere along the way became his mountain
Like that broken whisky bottle
That shattered on the floor
He’s picking up the pieces of himself
Is he gonna make it, only time will tell
Time, would you help him out
Maybe let him know what lies ahead
What the future holds
Take the fear away, just a little hope
The uncertainty, it’s a heavy load
You can see ahead, you can see the past
Like grains of sand in an hour glass
Only you can tell, he could use your help

Are we all gonna make it
You can almost see it on our faces
Our hopeless desperation
Often makes me wonder where my faith is
Like those not so new newly weds
And the man who’s over-drinking
Time keeps all the answers to itself
Well are we gonna make it, only time will tell
