Matter Of Time (Unplugged) (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Intimacy: Album III - 2010)

You are right where you need to be
Everything is in divine order
Nothing happens under God's creation without his eye upon it
There's a divine appointment for everything takes place in your life
So just relax, let it flow
It's a matter of time

How can we be more like your brother?
He was tall, tall, thin, and fine
He'd spent his whole life chasing heaven
Heaven resides on the inside

People go from bad to good
In the blink of an eye
If they can go from bad to good
Then so can I

It's a matter of time, hey, baby
It's a matter of time, hey-yay

He'd take us downtown to the mission
Over on Martin Luther King Blvd
Some people call it Myrtle but I like to call it Mack and Third
Those were the strangest sounds, baby
We'd ever heard, hey-yay, yay
He'd say that bad things they happen
But it's all divine, hey, girl
So don't let this crazy, cruel world, baby
Don't let it make you blind, hey-yay, yay

'Cause people go from bad to good
In the blink of an eye
If they can go from bad to good
Then so can I

It's a matter of time, hey
It's a matter of time, ho-oh, yeah
It's a matter of time, baby
It's a matter of time, yeah, hey-yay, yay
It's a matter of time, baby
It's a matter of time, yeah, hey, girl
It's a matter of time, you know this will pass
It's a matter of time, girl, hey, oh, hoo, babe
It's a matter of time, babe, hey-yay, yay
It's a matter of time, girl, baby, baby

So don't freak out
This too shall pass
You know it's gonna pass, girl, yeah
It's gonna pass, girl, that's that Al Jarreau coming out
It's gonna pass, girl, love you, Al
It's gonna pass, girl
