In Its Own Time

In Its Own Time

Between the battles that you could not win

And the first time you cried out for help

That’s when you realized you were only making deals

With yourself

Filled with your conviction and belief

No signs of surrender or retreat

But now it seems your white flag is waving high

On every street

[chorus] But there’ll be times I know

When it’s better to let go

Even if it’s taking one hand off the line

You must let everything show

And like mud upon the snow

Know that it will wash away in its own time

In its own time

Now you must throw yourself into the fire

And burn away the remnants of your desire

Watch the ashes fall around you as – you climb higher

And from that mountaintop you will see

Everything that you are meant to be

Waiting for you on that middle ground

Between the dream

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]

So set your foot upon the trail

And your sails to the way the wind blows

It will take facing your fears

And thousands of tears

Before you know

If you ever know

So,when troubled times and worry come

When you’re restless and you need to run

Don’t let your destiny become – a setting sun

Greet every day in its new light

And before you close your eyes each night

Give thanks for everything you have

With all your might

[repeat chorus]
