The Time Will Come
Uriah Heep · On The Rebound: 40th Anniversary Anthology [1972]
Forever till the end
Some people try to
Come between us
But we know they're
Not our friends
So come on join our party
Let the hours slip on by
No more cares or worries
No more asking yourself why
Can you hear us, can you hear us
We're never far away
Can you hear us, can you hear us
This is all we have to say
All our love is true
Even just for you
Don't push us away
Like we're of yesterday
We never ask for more
And we give in return
The time will come
When everyone will listen
The time will come
When everyone will care
Just look ahead
What we said will glitter
Like a jewel sailing softly
Through the air
With everything to live for
Sometimes you're
Seeing just ahead
Wear your vision and find
That you're together
In five different ways
