Balance Lyrics

And you can clean around the wound
But if you want it to heal
It just takes time

And you can call up to the moon
But if you want something to change
You've gotta change your life
And take your time
It just takes time
It just takes time
It just takes time
Hard work and your time

And the sun will leave the room
Will leave you to the night
And that's alright
Because before the morning comes
There's a certain calm
And then there's light

It just takes time
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust and your time

And I can sit and talk
'Cause I was just like you
So arrogant and brave
Impetuous and blue

But trust me as a friend
And I'll do all that I can do
And I'd do anything for you
Because I want to see you through
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
You can change your life

It just takes time
A little trust and your time
A little trust and your time
A little trust and your time
It just takes time
It just takes time
Hard work and your time

This is what happens when people don't wait for the album versions to come out. Now they will most likely not be fixed, even if they are mostly accurate.

I hate that I can't right click and copy lyrics. It would have saved me time to post the correct lyrics.

“You can clean around the wound But if you want it to heal It just takes time”

Overall meaning of the song in these first lyrics and pretty self-explanatory: “Time Heals All Wounds”

“And you can call up to the moon But if you want something to change You've gotta change your life And take your time”

You can call up to a higher being like God but if you really want to change your life then it can only be done by your own means. Praying and wanting to change won’t do a bit of help but if you...

This song is amazing. I can't describe how gratifying it was listening to it right at the moment when things in my life were kind of synchronized with what's going on here. Beautiful and reassuring.

Seems to me the song is making a reference to recovery. Could be from alcohol, drugs, or a relationship. These can cause wounds that it just takes time to heal, and, well, the rest of the lyrics...
