The Time Has Come Lyrics

A thousand years, they waited for

Someone who would be true,

And now the empty years have passed,

The sunlight shines anew.


[ Chorus ] 

Someone who knows no fear,

I feel him near.

The child was born to be a king, a king,

And the time has come.


He tamed the wild wind when he passed,

The birds and beasts he knew,

Until he came to rest, at last,

The tall gates he passed through.


[ Repeat Chorus ] 

And now the story's just begun.

A thousand years to stay.

We wake each morning with the sun

To live our dreams away.


[ Repeat Chorus ]
