Spirits Past – Gil Scott-HeronBy It’s getting to be the time of yearWhen people once spoke of love and good cheerPeace on Earth and good will to all menAnd we all believed that there’d come a dayWhen peace would be much more than “on it’s way”Cause peace has been on it’s way since I don’t know whenAnd the folks who decide what will beThey haven’t confided in meAnd i don’t think that everybody can wait ’til thenIt makes me sad that my kids won’t seeChristmas the way it used to beI was so excited though we didn’t have a dimeBut that seems like such a long time agoAnd I am still a child I knowBut it seems like we’ve lost much more than the timeCause the folks who decide what will beThey haven’t confided in meAnd I don’t think that everybody can wait ’til thenNo, I don’t think that everybody can wait ’til thenNo, I don’t think that everybody can wait ’til then www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
