All in good time

It's been a busy day and not a bad one, but I just really want to go to bed. Here's some Can/Con for you. (Canadian content) I'm not fanatical about Ron Sexsmith, but I do like some of his songs. I heard this in a coffee shop last summer, but it's a pretty appropriate song for January. The video is clever, but a bit distracting. You could close your eyes. I plan to.
It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There were times that I really felt down
To think it passed me by

But in these hours of serious doubt
Through the cold black lonely night
Something told me, “It’ll work out”
Something deep inside
Was comforting me

All in good time
All in good time
It said, "All in good time,
The bad time will be gone."

“Hold your horses,” a willow tree cried
While the sun called to me, “Where’s the fire?”
“Run your course, my feverish child,”
Came a voice from even higher
Inspiring me

All in good time
All in good time
It said, "All in good time,
The bad time will be gone."

We rise and fall
We try and fail
And people may judge us
But angels, they know us, darling
All in good time.

It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There’s a need for sorrow and doubt
For darkness and for light
It’s how it must be

All in good time
All in good time
It said, "All in good time
The bad time will be gone."

But why close your eyes - the video was a lot of work. (thanks for posting)

I'm sure it was, Joe, but some videos enhance a song, others just distract from it. I think this falls into the latter category.
