It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There were times that I really felt down
To think it passed me by

But in these hours of serious doubt
Through the coal black lonely night
Something told me, it'll work out
Something deep inside was comforting me

All in good time
Oh, all in good time
It said, "All in good time
The bad times will be gone"

"Hold your horses", a willow tree cried
While the sun called to me, where's the fire?
"Run your course, my feverish child"
Came a voice from even higher inspiring me

All in good time
It said, "All in good time
The bad times will be gone"

We rise and fall, we try and fail
And people may judge us
But angels know us, darling
All in good time

It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There's a need for sorrow and doubt
For darkness and for light
It's how it must be

All in good time
Oh, all in good time
It said, "All in good time
The bad times will be gone
All in good time
The bad times will be gone"

Ooh, all in good time
Ooh, all in good time
Ooh, ooh, all in good time
