Can't Hurry The Harvest - Lyrics - Jamie Stevens

CAN'T HURRY THE HARVEST ****************************************** Author: Rodney Ronquillo / Jamie Stevens (ASCAP) Composer: Rodney Ronquillo / Jamie Stevens (ASCAP) © 2002 by Ronquillo/Stevens verse 1: In a corner light a lonely child would find A photograph of family who once was there Now the world has changed All that is left is a hand to beg for care Nations should unite - It's easy to recite But what does it mean if we really don't care? Do we have to fight And does it really matter who's Black or White? bridge: We pass on our fears to our children In life we reap what we all sow You can't pick up what others have planted Some things need a little time to grow chorus: We can live together (side by side) With our Brothers and Sisters (All WorldWide) To a loving place that's from above Can't hurry the harvest Till we learn to give love verse 2: Everything you do comes back in time to you So why do we still choose to look away Now it's up to you You can ignore or approve the things I say If we are not the same then tell me who's to blame And where is the difference beneath the skin Are we too blind to see We need to change the world we're living in bridge: We have learned our fears from our parents In life we choose the way we go Your life's like a fruit that is thriving Some things need a little time to grow CHORUS middle 8: The world is our only home - Let's get along The world is our only home - United we are strong bridge: We can learn to live with the others In life we live through highs and lows Every person's a Sister or Brother With love, all you need is time to grow
