Lyrics

THE RIGHT TIME

Thank God for this life of sin
I savored every bite I could get in
No pride, just a hungry fact:
No point regretting what I can’t take back…

Then the skies opened and to my surprise
I was no longer on the blind side
I saw the world unfold through different eyes
Seems I was just waiting for,
I was waiting for the right time,
Just waiting for the right time

It comes like a miracle,
Its black and white
Ain’t no mistaking this strange event:
The simple difference between wrong and right
Don’t need no explanation
When the heart gives consent

Then came this feeling I could not analyze
I was no longer in the blind tribe,
I saw a world emerge I could not describe
Seems I was just waiting for,
I was waiting for the right time
Just waiting for the right time

Holding on, onto my past tired and war torn stories
Holding on, on to last…
It’s time for those barren territories
To be gone…gone
To be gone
Gone!

Thank God for this life of sin
Give me the courage to begin again
And grant me the grace to find
The blessing of love inside this heart of mine

Then the skies open and to my surprise,
I am no longer on the blind side
I see the future now with welcoming eyes
Seems I was just waiting for,
I was waiting for,
I was just waiting for,
I was waiting for
The right time

Just waiting for the right time
Just waiting for the right time
Just waiting for the right time
Just waiting for the right time
