Sobre el álbum
El álbum "Time", de 1998, es una obra que continúa explorando la adaptación del sonido clásico del artista a las nuevas tendencias, y se añade a la discografía de Lionel Richie como un trabajo de madurez y reflexión. En este disco, el cantante se aleja del R&B más urbano de su anterior trabajo para abrazar un pop adulto más cercano a sus raíces, pero con una producción contemporánea.
Las letras del álbum, como el título sugiere, a menudo giran en torno al paso del tiempo, la familia y la reflexión sobre la propia vida. Lionel Richie se muestra aquí como un artista más introspectivo y sereno, que mira al mundo con la perspectiva que le dan los años. El tono del disco es más reposado y melancólico.
El álbum incluye la canción "I Hear Your Voice", que tuvo un éxito moderado, y cuenta con la producción de figuras como David Foster, un experto en la creación de baladas de pop adulto de alta calidad.
Al igual que su predecesor, "Time" no logró un gran impacto comercial en un panorama musical dominado por el pop adolescente y el hip-hop. Es un trabajo sólido y sincero, pero que encontró a su autor un tanto fuera de sintonía con las modas del momento.

Letra
So many nights thought that I was doing fine Thought that time had chased your picture from my mind So many times thought my heart was finally strong Now I find this heart of mine was so wrong I thought I'd finally learned to get on with my life I hear your voice-(call) Your voice (call) Your voice (call) The way it used to do I feel my heart (fall) I try to keep you off my mind But every time I do, I hear your voice So many days I thought that I could love again But any fool in love would know that's all pretend You always seem to find your way Back in my dreams and I can't break free [Chorus] You know I tried so many times just to forget you I've tried to walk away from you Oh girl, it's just no use I hear your voice (call) Your voice (call) Your voice (call) Calling me.. calling me the way... I feel my heart (fall) I try to keep you off my mind But every time I do, I hear your voice I hear your voice I hear your voice - Touch5:08

Letra
Think about it I don't understand what's goin' on I'm trying to figure out the world around me It seems we make the same mistakes over again An I can't understand why Tell me about it Why do we walk in the footsteps of our ancestors In a monotonous fashion Recreating the same failures and crimes of passion Help me understand our fascination with bloodshed and violence What happened to the notion of the evil days being behind us Are we too lost to find salvation or could it be We don't want salvation to find us Are we content with the changes that bind us [Chorus] We go on and on To the rhythm On and on To the rhythm We go on and on To the rhythm On and on There's something else on my mind Ain't it strange when we make change We end up with dollars and no sense Progress is a false pretense From and Cain & Abel to any ghetto Tiannemen Square to Soweto, apartheid to Jim Crowe Are these problems incurable We can charge stars invisible to the eye But we can't find the solution for oppression or learn If we can't live together we're all gonna die [Repeat Chorus] Hatred, racism, war, killing for sport Got to change the way we look at each other Abuse, rape, murder, neglecting the poor Look at the pain we're going through Selling our souls just to make a profit Respect yourselves my sisters and brothers Using addictions to deal with our problems It's up to you When we gonna stop it Generations come and generations go Time is the rhythm to which we all flow Help me to realize cause I don't understand Why does every generation have to do The same thing again and again [Repeat Chorus] We're not destined to lose: it's about the paths we choose How long before we get it The value of which you get is measured in how much you're Willing to sacrifice Life's too short we can't waste a minute So how much is it worth to you to save your life And the lives of your children How much must we go through We have to change the words to the song before We can truly enjoy the rhythm It's up to you, It's up to you [Repeat Chorus] Life beats 360 degrees in a cycle to the rhythm Time beats Repeating things in a circular fashion to the rhythm Hearts beat To the rhythm Love beats To the rhythm What are we gonna do about it What are we gonna do about it To the rhythm Time we got ourselves together To the rhythm Cause we can't let hate beat to the rhythm To the rhythm Can't let lies beat To the rhythm To the rhythm Bloodshed no, no To the rhythm There's nothing new under the sun Hold on to the good To the rhythm We're doin' the same things over and over and over Hold on to the good 'and over and over' Stop the madness 'and over and over again - Stay4:09
