From the recording Waiting for Redemption 2024
“Take Time Out (Remix)” is a timely and powerful call for reflection and healing in a divided world. With urgent lyrics about rising hate, family conflict, and numbed hearts, the song urges listeners to pause, breathe, and truly think things through. Blending soulful honesty with a fresh musical energy, this remix highlights the importance of stepping back—from our anger, from the chaos, from our own assumptions—to reconnect with ourselves and each other. It’s both a personal reminder and a universal message: sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply take time out.
Lyrics
Hate crimes on the rise no one’s safe, the world’s not big enough for us
Your skin, my race taking up space, today our hearts are numb
Take time out time to think it through
I’m talking to me I’m talking to you, take time out
So much anger everywhere the home’s a combat zone
Parents fighting with their kids, brothers and sisters can’t get along
Take time out time to think it through
I’m talking to me I’m talking to you, take time out
Before it’s too late take some time, get your head on straight take the time…
So clear to me without a doubt a sign is coming from above
The Lord has put us all in quarantine it’s like He’s telling us to…
Take time out time to think it through
He’s talking to me He’s talking to you, take time out
