Time Will Tell

from Outside of Time and Space by Dee Long

lyrics

Single mother struggles on welfare
Three little children under her care
The youngest one
Crayons on the wall

Building burns to ground, the wall was all they found
Sold to the gallery for 4 million pounds
Original drawings by, the artist at four

Einstein was a failure in grade two
He was a great, one of the few
They called him slow
Insults took their toll

His great mind would never rest,
always did his very best
We all know what happened here
He worked hard, without fear

We hope dreams turn out well
In the life we create
Then leave it to fate
Only time will tell

Little girl, sits staring at the stars
Dreams she'll fly the first spaceship to Mars
Father has a fit
Tells her to 'forget about it'

Quietly the girl persists, following her life-long bliss
Graduates from school one day
Gets in her ship and blasts off

We hope dreams turn out well
In the life we create
Then leave it to fate
Only time will tell

Your dreams are yours, don't let them blow away
Hold onto them, you may be great one day
Don't let fear win
Go for it! Begin!

Some may try to stop you, but just do what you do
No failures here, time will see you through
and we all wish you well
But only time will tell
