There was a time

You had no need for rhythm

or rhyme

And the world seemed so wild

and so free

You just wrapped yourself up

in a dream

all you had to do was believe

and nothin’ was out of your reach

so sure how it all falls in line

it’s just a matter of time

it’s just a matter of time



then you wake up one day

all your dreams somehow

faded away

the road that you followed

It turned

You can’t find where the

fire once burned

can’t look yourself straight

in the eyes

in your heart of hearts…

you’ve compromised

baby one day…we all cross

that line

it’s just a matter of time

it’s just a matter of time



all alone in the still of the night

you come face to face with

your pride

and how much you wanted

it all

you can’t believe now you’re

taking the fall



then you reach out one day

to the light of a new

dawning day

and you take just one small

grain of sand

right into the palm of your hand

and maybe you find in the end

you’re able to dream….

Once again

and baby you fall back in line

it’s just a matter of time

it’s just a matter of time
