[00:31.73]These are the days of the open hand
[00:35.91]They will not be the last
[00:39.42]Look around now
[00:41.42]These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
[00:46.48]This is the year of the hungry man
[00:50.79]Whose place is in the past
[00:53.98]Hand in hand with ignorance
[00:58.04]And legitimate excuses
[01:01.79]The rich declare themselves poor
[01:05.54]And most of us are not sure
[01:09.04]If we have too much
[01:11.10]But we'll take our chances
[01:13.16]'Cause God's stopped keeping score
[01:16.16]I guess somewhere along the way
[01:19.98]He must have let us all out to play
[01:24.54]Turned his back and all God's children
[01:28.35]Crept out the back door
[01:31.35]And it's hard to love' there's so much to hate
[01:38.66]Hanging on to hope
[01:42.29]When there is no hope to speak of
[01:46.24]And the wounded skies above say
[01:49.81]it's much too much too late
[01:55.68]Well maybe we should all be praying for time
[01:59.60]
[02:30.66]These are the days of the empty hand
[02:34.47]Oh you hold on to what you can
[02:38.47]And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
[02:45.41]This is the year of the guilty man
[02:49.47]Your television takes a stand
[02:52.78]And you find that what was over there is over here
[03:00.35]So you scream from behind your door
[03:03.85]Say what's mine is mine and not yours
[03:07.28]I may have too much but I'll take my chances
[03:11.91]'Cause God's stopped keeping score
[03:15.03]And you cling to the things they sold you
[03:18.85]Did you cover your eyes when they told you
[03:22.72]That he can't.e back
[03:24.60]'Cause he has no children to.e back for
[03:30.35]It's hard to love there's so much to hate
[03:37.41]Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
[03:45.10]And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
[03:54.45]So maybe we should all be praying for time
