Time. It's taking us forever
Why? Will we ever, ever
Find that we are a nation?
Just tribes tired of living this way
A new divine decree - instead of giving me your child for your sins
Barbecue the animals and send a goat into the wild with your sins
You and I both know following the rules is hard. It's so hard
So love me with your heart and with your soul and you can always play the chosen card!
Time... taking us forever
Why? Will we ever, ever
Find that we are a nation?
Just tribes tired of living this way
Where's the milk and honey? This really isn't funny no more, oh my Lord
Animals, diseases, hunger, sun... but wait, there's more! There's the sword!
Tell us what's the deal 'cause we really don't feel so free anymore
I mean what's the point of being chosen if you can't even fight a war?
Time... it's taking us forever
Why? Will we ever, ever
Find that we are a nation?
Just tribes tired of living this way
Time to take the land I'm givin'
Try. Don't take the foreign women
It's time, so say goodbye to Moses
It's time, but remember you're mine
