There’s a Time

There’s a time I listened to my parents
Thinking I’d learn to obey.

There’s a time I listened to my nanny
Thinking I’d learn to play.

There’s a time I listened to my pastor
Thinking I’d learn to grow.

There’s a time I listened to my teacher
Thinking I’d learn to know.

There’s a time I listened to my foreman
Thinking I’d learn to labor.

There’s a time I listened to my comrade
Thinking I’d learn to neighbor.

There’s a time I listened to my leader
Thinking I’d learn to heed.

Then came time to listen to my Love
I found she’s all I need.
