Take the Time Lyrics

[Intro]
Just let me catch my breath...
I've heard the promises
I've seen the mistakes
I've had my fair share of tough breaks

I need a new voice, a new law
A new way
Take the time, re-evaluate
It's time to pick up the pieces
Go back to square one

I think it's time for a change!

[Verse 1]
There is something that I feel
To be something that is real
I feel the heat within my mind
And craft new changes with my eyes
Giving freely wandering promises
A place with decisions I'll fashion
I won't waste another breath

[Chorus 1]
You can feel the waves coming on
(It's time to take the time!)
Let them destroy you or carry you on
(It's time to take the time!)
You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind

[Verse 2]
The unbroken spirit
Obscured and disquiet
Finds clearness this trial demands
And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief
For the fortune lies still in his hands

[Verse 3]
If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year
A man must learn to cope
If his obsession's real
Suppression that he feels must turn to hope

[Chorus 2]
Life is no more assuring than love
(It's time to take the time!)
There are no answers from voices above
(It's time to take the time!)
You're fighting the weight of the world
And no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind

[Bridge]
I close my eyes
And feel the water rise around me
Drown the bead of time
Let my senses fall away
I can see much clearer now, I'm blind
"Ora che ho perso la vista, ci vedo di più"

[Guitar and Keyboard Solos]

[Chorus 1]
You can feel the waves coming on
(It's time to take the time!)
Let them destroy you or carry you on
(It's time to take the time!)
You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind!
Ooh...
Ooh yeah...

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time!
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time!

[Instrumental Outro]
