your time has come

stop running away so no one can find you

so relentless and reckless

you haven't a moment to spare

so vague and obscure

this course has confined you

won't you sooner or later

emerge to the surface of air?

far away from home

take rest to clear your mind

you've been patronized and compromised

but one day you will climb. out of the dark

into the light

out of the iron cage

and you know your time has come

you've made a mark

and left a sign

you've made the world your stage

and you know your time has come

the years have gone by

and little is changing

one more notch on your belt

and the seasons have lightened your skin

the passion still flows like a river of fire

but to come to an end

you must understand where to begin

find a place to dwell

some place to free your soul

from the days of old

you break the mold

and let the faith arise. out of the dark

into the light

out of the iron cage

then you know your time has come

you've made a mark

and left a sign

you've made the world your stage

and you know your time has come

far away from home

take rest to clear your mind

don't be patronized or agonized

there's only one way up to climb

into the light

out of the iron cage

then you know your time has come

you've made a mark

and left a sign

you've made the world your stage

and you know your time has come

out of the dark

over the land

into the lit up night

yes you know your time has come

you've left a mark

and stood your ground

you've fought with all your might

and you know your time has come
