Matter of Time
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.
As we arise with the sun in our eyes
Catch a break from the dark
Still times when nothing's alright
As we bandage up all our parts
Well, I'm a builder of bridges
And I could fly us up to the moon
When your time is limited
Well, nothing happens too soon
Navigate, come find a way
Our differences be damned
So much space between us
In the distance of our hands
Stakes are raised to elevate
Just a second to understand
What you give, this will to live
You got the cure, I'll fight the fight
It's just a matter of time
Submit the evidence and take the stand
Let the truth testify
If I were but a grain of sand
I'd still resist this tide
We're not alone on this crowded shore and
Times they do demand
Shrink the space between us
A reaching of a hand
Stakes are raised to elevate
Just a second to understand
What you give, this will to live
You got the cure, I got the fight
It's just a matter of time
A matter of time
Just a matter of time
A matter of time
Matter of time
Matter of time
A matter of time
A matter of time
I found myself when I found my tribe
Now I know what it's like to feel alive
I'll take the joy, I'll take the pain
We're just like you, we're all the same
A matter of time
Matter of time
Matter of time
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time
