Meaning
This reads as a statement of survival and vindication, with the speaker saying time has answered for them. It can be taken to mean that opposition did not have the final word, and that justice arrived in a form strong enough to be felt. It lands in testimony after hardship, when someone looks back and sees reversal rather than defeat.
