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
I 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'll 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
