I look out on the city lights   The guarded streets below   I marvel at my history   The things that I don't know   Just another question   A 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   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 for 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   A tether frayed 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         Copyright 1995 Christopher Cross Songs/Moonblind Music
