(Dave Hill-Mal Spooner)(Intersong/Warner Chappel)
In the beginning he gave us the word
But a voice in the wilderness
Can never be heard
So he called for a father of time
Called on the father of time
I guess you`ve all heard of me
I count the cost
I was there at Calvary
When he died on that cross
I`m the father of time
I`m your father of time
And the world needs me now
Like never before
And the world needs me now
Like never before
I make the predictions
I am your fate
But when you`re running with progress
You hear me too late
I`m the father of time
Yes I`m your father of time
And the world needs me now
Like never before
And the world needs me now
Like never before
Now I see destruction
Flames burnin` high
No need for the word now
No father of time
I`m the father of time
Yes I`m your father of time
And the world needs me now
Like never before
And the world needs me now
Like never before
