Tick Tock Songtext

von Stevie Ray Vaughan

(Vocal intro spoken by Jimmie Vaughan)
One night, while sleeping in my bed, I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength and began helping one another
Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way

The sick and the hungry had smiles on their faces
The tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumbling down

People of the world had it all together
Had it together for the boys and girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's ticking away
Remember that tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's ticking away

I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
All the trees of the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty ad safe for you and me
And the worst of enemies became the best of friends

People of the world had it all together
Had it together for the boys and girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's ticking away
Remember that tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's ticking away

Remember that, remember that
Remember that, remember that

People of the world had it all together
Had it together for the boys and girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's ticking away
Remember that tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's ticking away
