Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Where's your wings little angel?

My sweet, baby, child

And how you gonna live

In a world gone wild?

[Verse 2]

Well, you better be smart

You better be strong

Ain't gon' be here long

I don't care if you're rich

Never had a dime

This whole life is an uphill climb

[Verse 3]

And I ain't got time

Ain't got time

Ain't got time for hate

One more moment is a moment too late

We ain't got time for hate

[Verse 4]

People lost and lonely

Lookin' for a home

Call us names that still hurt us

A lot more than stones

[Verse 5]

It's the law of the jungle

It's the law of the land

We hold each others hearts

In the palm of our hands

[Verse 6]

And we ain't got time

We ain't got time

We ain't got time for hate

One more moment is a moment too late

We ain't got time for hate

[Verse 7]

Black and white (Black and white)

Brown or tan (Brown or tan)

Every woman (Every woman)

Child and man (Child and man)

Rich or poor (Rich or poor)

Gay or straight

We ain't got time for hate

[Verse 8]

We're all born, then we die

Put on this Earth

And we don't know why

We're the same man

Bleed the same blood

Some in mansions and some in mud

Little angel, if you survive

I know someday you gonna fly

[Verse 9]

And I ain't got time

Ain't got time

Ain't got time for hate

One more moment is a moment too late

We ain't got time for hate

[Verse 10]

And I ain't got time (Ain't got time)

Ain't got time (Ain't got time)

We ain't got time for hate

One more moment is a moment too late (Too late)

We ain't got time for hate

We ain't got time for hate

We ain't got time for hate
