All It Takes (with Little Stranger)

Maybe all it takes
Maybe all it takes is time
To forgive, forget and make
To forgive, forget and make things right

Let's bury the hatchet
I'm ready to listen
You ain't no Liston
I ain't no Cassius
You got your ways
And I got my ways
I ain't gonna bash it
Remember the days
We'd light up the haze
And move like molasses, yeah

Are you ready and able?
To make every people
Honored and equal
Get rid of the fables

Been having a meeting
Face to face with my guardian angel
It was good, it was painful
'Til I fixed my angle

But ain't nobody really know
How it's done
But we try, and we try, and we try, to give and get love
Nobody really grows
Without the sun
So please shine a little light
To remind me that

Maybe all it takes
Maybe all it takes is time
To forgive, forget and make
To forgive, forget and make things right

Oh my goodness gracious
You are so god-damn audacious
I can hardly make a statement
On the way you're acting lately

I heard the message on the stereo, reo-reo
Said ya boy, you gotta let it go
Be careful of the shade you throw
You never know if the flowers keep on fighting for the sunshine
How your garden gonna grow

Well you wouldn't be planting no seeds
Not playing it cool, you fighting fools
You ain't getting the best of me
No contesting especially
We're in need of a recipe to
Lose this anger and go find yourself relief

Please, oh me, oh my, almighty
I'm tired of this dividing
Colliding, thunder and lighting
Inviting nothing but violence
Instead of a sense of pride that could pry
Open all our eyelids
If we could take a minute just to try it
All in time

If it gets too hot, we gon' need some ventilation
I need you as a friend, but I need a little patience

I say if it gets too hot, we gon'need some ventilation
I need you as a friend, but I need a little patience

Maybe all it takes
Maybe all it takes is time
To forgive, forget and make
Forgive, forget and make things right
