When This Is Over

By Jimmie Allen

Lyrics

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
