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]
