There was a time You had no need for rhythm or rhyme And the world seemed so wild and so free You just wrapped yourself up in a dream all you had to do was believe and nothin' was out of your reach so sure how it all falls in line it's just a matter of time it's just a matter of time
then you wake up one day all your dreams somehow faded away the road that you followed I turned You can't find where the fire once burned can't look yourself straight in the eyes in your heart of hearts… you've compromised baby one day…we'll all cross that line it's just a matter of time it's just a matter of time
all alone in the still of the night you come face to face with your pride and how much you wanted it all you can't believe now you're taking the fall
then you reach out one day to the light of a new dawning day and you take just one small grain of sand right into the palm of your hand and maybe you find in the end you're able to dream…. Once again and baby you fall back in line it's just a matter of time it's just a matter of time
