(lonnie wilson/susan longacre)
The time has come to let you go
My tears will run and they’ll keep me afloat
I set you adrift like a burning boat
The time has come to let you go
The time has come to turn you loose
It took my heart this long to face the truth
If i lost you i can lose these blues
The time has come to turn you loose
We had our moment in the sun
But that time has come and now that time is gone
The time has come to set you free
Tonight’s the night i’ll untie all these dreams
I’ll send them away so i can find some peace
The time has come to set you free
I’m gonna let you go
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
Bridge 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
Bridge Chorus
There is no time to sit around and wait
Don’t you know the world, it is of love and of hate
Now is the time, we’ve got to be strong
We can’t go wrong
Because the time has come, the time has come
To be free can’t you see
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
Don’t you know the cheating, the killing, backbiting it cannot help
Cos’ can’t you see them problems, it’s everyday
They’ve got to solve themselves
Cos’ now is the time, we gotta be strong
We can’t go wrong
Because the time has come, the time has come
To be free can’t you see
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
There is no time to sit around and wait
Don’t you know the world, it is of love and of hate
Cos now is the time, we’ve got to be strong
We can’t go wrong
Because the time has come, the time has come
To be free can’t you see
John farnham, phil buckle, and ross fraser
The tale is told, of a mighty land
Great tempest ocean, shifting sand
Of an ancient lore, in tribal might
After an age, of harmony
Came a reign, based on greed
They say that all roads lead to rome
But now it’s changing
Now the time has come
So spare your heart, bare your breast
For the light that fades, into the west
Once more shall rise, as glory dawns
