I shed my skin   And set aside this self-made darkness   'N walk on into the light      I'm sick of this prison   I been calling my life   I finally found out the gates of hell are locked from the inside   Just like Moses   Headed for the Promised Land   We don't get to know where we're goin'   We only know where we've been      Hope   Whever you gotta start, ya start   Faith   Whatever you gotta leave, you leave   Life   Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark   Love   Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing   Joy   Whatever you wanta start, ya start   Time   Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark   Trust   Sometimes you gotta scream      If it's about joy   If it's about life   If it's about love   It's about time we get started   If it's about trust   If it's about hope   If it's about us   It's about time we get started      We don't get forever   We just get now or never   To make the best or the worst of the time that we got   There's power in this groove   And I surrender to the river   It's takin' me to      I'll learn to swim   I'm getting in   I'm getting wet   I may be drownin'   But I ain't dead yet      Hope   Whever you gotta start, ya start   Faith   Whatever you gotta leave, you leave   Life   Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark   Love   Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing   Joy   Whatever you wanta start, ya start   Time   Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark   Trust   Sometimes you gotta scream      If it's about joy   If it's about life   If it's about love   It's about time we get started   If it's about trust   If it's about hope   If it's about us   It's about time we get started      Oh baby   It's all right   You only gotta face yourself   To make it to the other side      Oh baby you don't know what you'll find   ?Til you tear down those walls   And make up your mind      If it's about joy   If it's about life   If it's about love   It's about time we get started   If it's about trust   If it's about hope   If it's about us   It's about time we get started      I been tryin'   Prayin' cryin   Lord, what's it gonna take   Step by step you go on   Knowin' that you hold on   It's just about time
