Billy Porter
Children (What Time It Is)
See, I know times are hard (Yes, they are)
Yeah, I mean it from the heart (Ooh)
You're not losin' the fight (No, no)
Love will make it alright
'Cause I've been there, done that, worn that dress
So you know Mama knows it best, hey
Not tryna patronize a little bit (Oh, no, no)
Baby, I empathize I must admit (But I)
Need you to recognize that that ain't it
See, a change starts today
Better wipe those tears away
Some people criticize the way you live
But don't you apologize or dare submit
Baby, the childrŠµn's where the futurŠµ is
See, a change starts today
Better wipe those tears away
You see, I know times are hard (You'll get through it, baby)
I mean it from the heart
You're not losin' the fight
Love will make it alright
'Cause I've been there, done that, worn that dress
So you know Mama knows it best, I
Gotta let these children know what time it is
SongtexteGotta let these children know what time it is
Gotta let these children know what time it is
'Cause I've been there, done that, worn that dress
So you know Mama knows it best, I
I lived a whole lotta life, I ain't new to this
Lotta lows, lotta highs, I stay true to this
Take my hand, join the ride
You know you'll have it figured out in time
See, I know times are hard (You'll get through it, baby)
And I mean it from the heart
You're not losin' the fight
Love will make it alright
'Cause I've been there, done that, worn that dress
So you know Mama knows it best, I
Gotta let these children know what time it is
Gotta let these children know what time it is
Gotta let these children know what time it is
'Cause I've been there, done that, worn that dress
So you know Mama knows it best, I
