A Matter of Time

It’s just a matter of time
Until a daddy’s drunken rage
No longer makes his little girl cry.
And though tears still fall
As the seconds pass by,
We believe peace reigns
It’s just a matter of time.

It’s just a matter of time
Before our hearts are wide open
To the cries of the orphan children.
Today we may think
Our indifference is hidden,
But justice will come
It’s just a matter of time.

It was a matter of time
When you knelt down in the garden
Knowing they’d come to take your life.
After you shouldered
Our rebellion and strife,
Love and life would win
‘Twas just a matter of time.
