I stand at the threshold, the world at my feet
Facing the music, defying defeat
I'm waiting for the right time to shake it
Livin' for the right time to make it
Stand by me and you will see that
It's only a matter of time, we will be one
And I know it's just a matter of time
Soon you will see that it's only a matter of time
Change has to come and I know it's just a matter of time
(A matter of time, a matter of time, a matter of time)
I look to the future with hope in my heart
It's there for the winning, I'm ready to start
I'm ready for the right time to break it
Lookin' out for my time to make it
Stand by me and you will see that
It's only a matter of time, we will be one
And I know it's just a matter of time
Soon you will see that it's only a matter of time
Change has to come and I know it's just a matter of time
(A matter of time, a matter of time, a matter of time)
I'm going to set you right about me
Going to get the future I see, living the life
I know I should, knockin' on wood
Stand by me and you will see that
It's only a matter of time, we will be one
And I know it's just a matter of time
Soon you will see that it's only a matter of time
Change has to come and I know it's just a matter of time
(A matter of time, a matter of time, a matter of time)
