Lyrics
The Time Has Come
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A thousand years they waited for
someone who would be true
and now the empty years have passed
the sunlight shines anew
Chorus:
Someone who knows no fear
I feel him near
The child was born to be a king, a king,
And The Time Has Come
He tamed the wild wind when he passed
the birds and beasts he knew
until he came to rest at last
the tall gates he passed through
Bridge Chorus:
And now the story's just begun
A thousand years to stay
We wake each morning with the sun
To live our dreams away
Bridge Chorus
