Tick Tock
written by
Jimmie Vaughan, Nile Rodgers & Jerry Lynn Williams
One night while sleeping in my bed
The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
People of the world all had it together
Remember
I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
People of the world all had it together
Remember
Remember that, remember that
People of the world all had it together
Remember
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 tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumblin' down
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me
The worst of enemies became the best of friends
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
Remember that, remember that
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
Remeber that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
