When This Is Over Lyrics

When this is over
I hope I take a little less for granted
Hope I'm a little more understanding
When some things don't make sense
When this is over
I hope I smile at a passin' stranger
Take time to get to know my neighbors
And break bread every now and then
Oh, oh, oh

'Cause right now, all I got is time
To think about the bottom line
For what I have, where I stand
How I live, who I am
I hope these hard times make me better, not just older
When this is over

I hope I stay out of my head
And I'm a little more empathetic
Put myself in people's shoes
When this is over
I'll kiss the ground and send a prayer to the sky
Thank God I'm breathing air and alive
And I get one more day with you, ooh, oh-oh

'Cause right now, all I got is time (Hey)
To think about the bottom line (Yeah, yeah)
And what I have (What I have), where I stand (Where I stand)
How I live and who I am (Who I am)
I hope these hard times make me better, not just older
When this is over, oh-oh


'Cause right now, all I got is this
It's just a simple someday wish (Oh, yeah)
What I have (What I have), where I stand (Where I stand)
How I live and who I am
I hope these hard times make me better, not just older
When this, when this is over
Oh, yeah

When this is over
I hope these hard times make me better, uh
I hope the distance brings us closer
When this, when this
When this is over, oh
When this is over
Ladies and gentlemen, The Oak Ridge Boys

Right now, all I got is time
To think about the bottom line
What I have, where I stand
How I live and who I am
I hope these hard times make me better, not just older
When this is over
