It takes time to move a mountain, it takes time for love to be
You're never really caged in, but you're never really free
It takes time for all the answers to be dealt with properly
And everybody knows that it takes time

Now something like the seasons, people sometimes change
Their actions and their reasons, though the feelings stay the same
Working out their troubles, now, looking for peace of mind
And everybody knows that it takes time

It takes time to move a mountain, it takes time for love to be
You're never really caged in, but you're never really free
It takes time for all the answers to be dealt with properly
And everybody knows that it takes time

Well, I believe in freedom and I believe in change
'Cause if we move too fast, you know, confusion will remain
It don't seem long for happiness to give you peace of mind
And everybody knows that it takes time

It takes time to move a mountain, it takes time for love to be
You're never really caged in, but you're never really free
It takes time for all the answers to be dealt with properly
And everybody knows that it takes time

Time to move a mountain, it takes time for love to be
You're never really caged in, but you're never really free
It takes time for all the answers to be dealt with properly
And everybody knows that it takes time
