When this is over
I hope I take a little less for granted
I hope I?m a little more understandin?
When some things don?t make sense
When this is over
I hope I smile at a passin? stranger
Take time to get to know my neighbors
And break bread every now and then
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh cause right now all I got is time
To think about the bottom line
And what I have, where I stand
How I live and who I am
I hope these hard times make me better not just older
When this is over
I hope I stay out of my head
And I?m a little more empathetic
Put myself in people?s shoes
When this is over
I?ll kiss the ground and send a prayer to the sky
Thank god I?m breathing air and alive
And I get one more day with you
Oh, oh, oh cause right now all I got is time
To think about the bottom line
And what I have, where I stand
How I live and who I am
I hope these hard times make me better not just older
When this is over
(repeat)
I hope these hard times make me better not just older
When this is over
Ladies and gentlemen, the oak ridge boys
Right now, all I got is time
To think about the bottom line
What I have, where I stand
How I live and who I am
I hope these hard times make me better not just older
When this is over
