Diamond saddle, ruby eye
Someone's got a rocking horse that they ride
Ride the tangled river down to the sea
Ride that river and then come on home to me

'Cause, oh my little ones
you gotta learn to walk before you run
First step's hard, the rest will come
You've got time, time, time
Time, time, time

There's gold in the river, silver in the hills
Some cups will empty, some cups will fill
Sometimes you'll be standing tall and free
Sometimes you'll be praying down on your knees

But, oh my little ones, you gotta learn to walk before you run
First step's hard, the rest will come
You've got time, time, time
Time, time, time

Birds are singing, the clock strikes noon
You sit and dream 'neath the skin of the moon
You wish upon some distant star
Til you find out who you are

One of these mornings, a day will come
All your riding will be done
All the horses that once rode to your command
They'll speak a language you no longer understand

But, oh my little ones, you gotta learn to walk before you run
First step's hard, the rest will come
You've got time, time, time
Time, time, time
You've got time, time, time
Time, time, time
You've got time, time, time
Time, time, time
You've got time, time, time
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
You've got time, time, time
Time, time, time
