Lyrics Just a Little Time (2013 Remastered) - Archie Roach

Our country been dyin', so have we
And people still tryin' to be free
Elders are cryin' for you and me
So why are we tryin' not to see?

Oh-oh-oh, time
That's all we ask
Just a little time
For the feelin'
Oh-oh-oh, time
That's all we need
Just a little time
For the healin'
To begin

People are slippin' at your feet
And children are weepin' in the street
Cheaters are cheatin' on the cheat
Why are we eatin' this bitter fruit?

Oh-oh-oh, time
That's all we ask
Just a little time
For the feelin'
Oh-oh-oh, time
That's all we need
Just a little time
For the healin'
To begin

So please just give us one more day
To try to find a better way
To gather all who's gone astray
Into our lovin' arms
It's up to no one, as you see
Nobody else but you and me
To give us back our liberty
And keep us safe from harm

People are slippin' at your feet
And children are weepin' in the street
Elders are cryin' for you and me
And why are we tryin' not to see?

Oh-oh-oh, time
That's all we ask
Just a little time
For the feelin'
Oh-oh-oh, time
That's all we need
Just a little time
For the healin'
To begin
To begin
