"Take My Time"
:[ lyrics ]:
lyrics by evan mallet | music by ben buttrick

i like to take my time
see where i'm going
before i get to where i am
prevailing winds are steering me away
from my objectives and my plans

so if you'd like to see the seedy side
of city life
come visit me
climb aboard
this train is setting out
for the real land of the free

free at last
time i checked
slavery was in effect
don't bother me politics
i just want to see some hope
for this country

for we are tamed
we are endangered
by the strangers bearing guns
when i look up on my wall and see
your face still staring at the sun

sun on you
like a dream
we are one for all to see
don't bother me
with stories of
wise men, prophecies, floods and god above

so if you'd like to see the seedy side ...
