Just let me catch my breath...   I've heard the promises   I've seen the mistakes   I've had my fair share of tough breaks   I need a new voice, a new law, a new way   Take the time, reevaluate   It's time to pick up the pieces,   Go back to square one   I think it's time for a change      There is something that I feel   To be something that is real   I feel the heat within my mind   And craft new changes with my eyes   Giving freely wandering promises   A place with decisions I'll fashion   I won't waste another breath      You can feel the waves coming on   (It's time to take the time)   Let them destroy you or carry you on   (It's time to take the time)   You're fighting the weight of the world   But no one can save you this time   Close your eyes   You can find all you need in your mind      The unbroken spirit   Obscured and disquiet   Finds clearness this trial demands   And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief   For the fortune lies still in his hands      If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year   A man must learn to cope   If his obsession's real,   Suppression that he feels must turn to hope      Life is no more assuring than love   (It's time to take the time)   There are no answers from voices above   (It's time to take the time)   You're fighting the weight of the world   And no one can save you this time   Close your eyes   You can find all you need in your mind      I close my eyes   And feel the water rise around me   Drown the beat of time   Let my senses fall away   I can see much clearer now, I'm blind      You can feel the waves coming on   It's time to take the time   Let them destroy you or carry you on   It's time to take the time   You're fighting the weight of the world   But no one can save you this time   Close your eyes   You can find all you need in your mind      Find all you need in your mind   If you take the time   Find all you need in your mind   If you take the time
