All In Good Time is the ninth full-length original-material studio album by Barenaked Ladies (the eighth, if Barenaked Ladies Are Me and Are Men are considered as one double-album). All In Good Time was released on March 23, 2010 in Canada, and March 30, 2010 in the United States. It is the first album recorded following the departure of founding member Steven Page in February 2009, and the band's second album recorded as a four-piece (their 1996 album Born on a Pirate Ship was recorded between the departure of original keyboardist Andy Creeggan and the arrival of his replacement Kevin Hearn).
"You Run Away" was the first single released from the album. "Every Subway Car" was released on US and Canadian iTunes on February 23 both as a preview track if the album is pre-ordered, and as a stand-alone purchase. It was later released as the second single from the album, recut as a duet with Erin McCarley.
The band came to the table with 27 written songs, with 18 making the cut to be recorded. With Page's departure, Hearn and bassist Jim Creeggan filled the void by contributing a comparatively greater share of lead vocals than on previous albums.Ed Robertson, who had contributed lead vocals equally with Page, sings lead on 10 of the 18 recorded songs, while Hearn and Creeggan sing on five and three respectively. Drummer Tyler Stewart also lent significant vocals to "Four Seconds".
All in Good Time is a British film directed by Nigel Cole. The story began as a television play by Bill Naughton in 1961 titled Honeymoon Postponed, which was adapted to the 1963 stage play All in Good Time. It was again adapted into the 1966 film The Family Way.

Many nights we’ve prayed, With no proof anyone could hear. In our hearts a hopeful song, We barely understood. Now we are not afraid, Although we know there’s much to fear. We were moving mountains long, Before we knew we could. There can be miracles, When you believe. Though hope is frail, It’s hard to kill. Who knows what miracles, You can achieve. When you believe, Some how you will. You will when you believe. Easy to despair, When all you hear is fear and lies. Easy just to run and hide, To frightened to begin. But if we dare to dare, Don’t wait for answers from the sky. Each of us can look inside, And hear this song within. They don’t always happen when, you ask. And it’s easy to give in, to your fear. But when you blinded by your faith, Can’t see your way clear through the rain, A small but still resilient voice; Says hope is very near. Ohhhhh. There can be miracles, When you believe. Though hope is frail, It's hard to kill. Who knows what miracles, You can achieve. When you believe, Some how you will. . . How you will You will when you believe.
