The Time Will Come

Fifteen years old
Depressed, alone
Want to end the pain
don't want to go on
Bottle of pills spilled at my feet
thinking they don't understand me

Fell to my knees and
bowed my head
crying "Please take me instead"
A loving voice ringing in my head
"It's just not your time yet"

If it's not your time, then it's not your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time heals the wounds, but not the pain
It's hard to go on , but you do ok

One winter night
was on my way home
Snow and ice on the ground
squealing tires and shattered glass
The other driver was just a kid
Held him in my arms, prayed he
would be alright, there's no way
he deserved this

Fell to my knees and
bowed my head
crying "Please take me instead"
A loving voice ringing in my head
"It's just not your time yet"

If it's not your time, then it's not your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time heals the wounds, but not the pain
It's hard to go on , but you do ok

Nine long months
waited for this day
Don't care what it is, just be ok
Baby boy, blue tinged lips
My heart fills with fear
close my eyes and I pray
"Please don't take him from me yet"

Fell to my knees and
bowed my head
crying "Please take me instead"
A loving voice ringing in my head
"It's just not your time yet"

If it's not your time, then it's not your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time heals the wounds, but not the pain
It's hard to go on , but you do ok

Ninety-two, a long life lived
now confined to a hospital bed
Family and friends, time to say goodbye
wipe the teardrops from your eyes
One last smile, one last breath
Close my eyes and bow my head, praying
"Lord, take my instead"
a loving voice ringing in my head
"Patient now, it's almost time.
Take my hand and I'll lead you there"

If it's your time, then it's your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time will heal their wounds, but not their pain
It's hard to go on , but they'll do ok

When it's your time, you will know
Because God will take you home
