Just In Time
Just in time i heard the cry
And looking up i saw the snowbirds wheeling in the sky;
They said, "we are the last ones left"
And so i brought them in , i gave them comfort, gave them rest
Just in time, to live another day
Just in time, oh they'll live another day;
Just in time i read the book
Such a revelation, we must give back what we took
Or the earth will roar like a wounded beast
The mountains will come crashing from the valleys to the sea
Just in time, oh don't throw it all away
Just in time, don't throw it all away...
"who will save this world of mine
Will you save it just in time?"
Just in time, i saw the dawn
Watched the sun arising on a field of golden corn
And through the mist, a million sang
Friends of the earth, calling out to every man
Just in time, oh don't throw it all away, no, no, no
Just in time, oh we'll live another day...
Ooh, how can i tell you how close we have come
That the end of our world has already begun
There are so many things we will not see again
Every day there's another one dying away...
Calling for help
Help from your hand
Hand coming down
Down to the world;
World it is time
Time for us all
And all that is life
To be living together before everything slips away
