Take The Time Lyrics

- Dream Theater

"Hold it now...

wait a minute... 

come on... whew..." 

Just let me catch my breath...

I've heard the promises

I've seen the mistakes

I've had my fair share of tough breaks

I need a new voice, a new law, a new way

Take the time, reevaluate

It's time to pick up the pieces,

Go back to square one

I think it's time for a change

There is something that I feel

To be something that is real

I feel the heat within my mind

And craft new changes with my eyes

Giving freely wandering promises

A place with decisions I'll fashion

I won't waste another breath

[Chorus:]

You can feel the waves coming on

(It's time to take the time)

Let them destroy you or carry you on

(It's time to take the time)

You're fighting the weight of the world

But no one can save you this time

Close your eyes

You can find all you need in your mind

The unbroken spirit

Obscured and disquiet

Finds clearness this trial demands

And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief

For the fortune lies still in his hands

If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year

A man must learn to cope

If his obsession's real,

Suppression that he feels must turn to hope

Life is no more assuring than love

(It's time to take the time)

There are no answers from voices above

(It's time to take the time)

You're fighting the weight of the world

And no one can save you this time

Close your eyes

You can find all that you need in your mind

I close my eyes

And feel the water rise around me

Drown in the beat of time

Let my senses fall away

I can see much clearer now, I'm blind

"Ora che ho perso la vista, 

ci vedo di pi" 

[Chorus] 

Find all you need in your mind

If you take the time

Find all you need in your mind 

If you take the time
