#86 Time Has Come Today (The Chambers Brothers) πŸ‘πŸΌ

Lyrics:
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can’t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
They say we don’t listen anyway
Time has come today
(Hey)πŸͺ„
Oh
The rules have changed today (Hey)
I have no place to stay (Hey)
I’m thinking about the subway (Hey)
My love has flown away (Hey)
My tears have come and gone (Hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)πŸͺ„
Now the time has come (Time)
There’s no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I’ve been loved and put aside (Time)
I’ve been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)πŸͺ„
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)πŸͺ„
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
TimeπŸͺ„
Oh
Now the time has come (Time)
There’s no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I’ve been loved and put aside (Time)
I’ve been crushed by tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)πŸͺ„
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)πŸͺ„
Time

Secret Lives: Gleaning Tips from Our Imaginary Selves

“Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your springs that never dry up.”

Pearl S. Buck (American Writer and Novelist; June 26th, 1892 ~ March 6th, 1973)

“Each of us leads many lives vicariously and often simultaneously. By acknowledging our secret lives and tapping into the wisdom of our imaginary alter egos, we can glean tips to help us develop our own personal sense of style.”

“Now write down who you’d be if not you. Now write down your secret selves.”

“Before my story began…” (Heather Houston 4-3-22)
