Artist/Band: Jimmy Cliff
Lyrics for Song: Time Will Tell
Lyrics for Album: Icon [2013]



Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell



When I was just a little boy, only six years old

I asked my daddy, "What he thinks my future hold"

He said, "Son, when you grow up to be a man

The facts of life you will start to understand

Nobody knows, just what tomorrow may bring

So I wanna tell you now and listen while I sing"



Father said, "Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell"



Now I'm a lonely man trying to make life on my own

Ever since the day I was born, I never have a happy home

Just like a river, I've been running ever since

The day I was born in that broken down little town

I'm wondering now just what my gain will be

'Cause it seems to me, happiness I'll never see



Mama said, "Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell"

What he say now, time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell, oh yeah



Time keeps on changing like the weather and the seasons

"For every mistake", Mama said, "There must be a reason"

After a storm, there's got to be a calm

So I think I'll wait a while and try to wear a smile



Mama said, "Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell"

What he say now, time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell



One more time now

Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell

One more time now

Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone, alone will tell
