“It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the Titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby you’re not going down
It takes more than you’ve got right now
Give it, give it time”
From the 1997 classic, “Takes a Little Time,” by Amy Grant, on her album, “Behind the Eyes”
Two thoughts:
1. Countless hours were spent blasting this from my CD stereo in the driveway, while I choreographed dance routines on my Roller Blades. So you think you’re a child of the 90’s?
2. Almost 20 years ago, these words reminded me that everything in my adolescent life would be okay, they were my rosary. Now, they speak to this young woman’s heart, reminding me again how long and slow life sometimes seems, and that maybe that’s a good thing.
