Lake's song 'Father Time' reflects on the second coming of Christ and humanity's failure to change despite centuries of suffering. The lyrics imagine Jesus returning to find ongoing conflict and sin, leading to His crucifixion again for preaching faith and love. The song questions whether people have truly evolved, pointing to the timeless nature of human brokenness. It carries a somber tone, urging listeners to consider their actions and the state of the world in light of biblical prophecy. The repeated refrain emphasizes disappointment that the world remains unchanged, echoing themes of judgment and the need for repentance.

To what will come and what will be
Things could happen that could change our lives
The second coming of the Lord
What would you think it made of us
What would He say
Jesus came down and the word got around
He wasn't pleased at the fighting, oh
Thousands of years, full of blood, pain and tears
Yes, He found out that the world hadn't changed
And we nailed him to a cross
For preaching faith and love to us
Times have changed, that's what we always say
It's just a dream that some believe
Perhaps today at twenty years, we'll see the day
Jesus came down and the word got around
He wasn't pleased at the fighting, oh
Thousands of years, full of blood, pain and tears
Yes, He found out that the world hadn't changed
Jesus came down and the word got around
He wasn't pleased at the fighting, oh
Thousands of years, full of blood, pain and tears
Yes, He found out that the world hadn't changed
