Time is the Final Currency (5:18)

Words and Music:  David Crosby



Time is the final currency

Not money

Not power

The time will come

When you will give

Anything for one more hour



Today I learned

There are no secrets

Only time for them to unfold



And the patience to watch

The scroll of truth

Slowly be unrolled



There is a time to this 

There is a flow

There is a tension here

Like a hard bent bow

Ready to send up

Send up another one

Another spark in the night

And suddenly you realize

That this time it is all right



I watched the greatest miracle

Take three quarters of a year

To bring forth life

And tiny breath

For all the world to hear



There is a time to this 

There is a flow

There is a tension here

Like a hard bent bow

Ready to send up

Send up another one

Another spark in the night

And suddenly you realize

That this time it is all right
