I look out on the city lights,
guarded streets below
I marvel at my history,
the things that I don't know
Just another question,
shadow on my soul
Will there be time,
will there be time
before I go?
I left home in a hurry,
off to see the world
Then I played some music,
then I loved a girl
Someone called me papa,
and it took my breath away
Would I be fine,
would I be alright with just today?
Will
there be time enough for me
before I go?
Love without rules,
love without end
Sending a lofty prayer,
peace out on the wind
Breaking the curse,
breaking the chain
Making a promise I won't have to make again
I look out on the city lights,
the stories that they tell
And
wonder at my destiny,
beyond this carousel
Such a hollow question,
tethered afraid by fear
Will there be time,
time to let go
while I'm here?
Will there be time enough for me,
so I'll know?
Will there be time enough for me before I go?
