A song about finding one's way in life, and persevering to the end.
When you're searching for something, but you don't know what it is
You just know there must be a better way
In the center of your soul lies a hunger that runs deep
A yearning for your night to turn into day
And then the sun breaks through the morning mist
And the heart no longer can resist
That's when you know it's time
That's when you know it's time
That's when you know it's time to give in
That's when you know it's time to begin
When your hidden ghosts come back to remind you of your past
so you long for a quiet place to live
When the path is overgrown full of weeds and sharp thorns
Yet inside you there is nothing more to give
And though the sun may shine, the cold remains
And the heart feels bound by shackles and chains
That's when you know it's time
That's when you know it's time
That's when you know it's time to do what's right
That's when you know it's time to keep up the fight
You saw the light once clearly, but now it seems so dim
Yet a voice inside keeps whisp'ring you'll get it back again
Though it’s just a faded memory, you hold on just the same
And when you blow away the ashes the coals burst into flame
As your life begins to fade and your spirit wants to run
like a thundering thoroughbred so swift
All the choices you made All the promises you kept
make you realize everything was a gift
And now the sun and moon begin to dance
And the heart feels wounded by the lance
That's when you know it's time
That's when you know it's time
That's when you know it's time to say goodbye
That's when you know it's time to fly
