Far into the valley of the Hill of Waiting
Sits, stands or lies the reason for us all
With the misty morning sunrise
And the wind blowing cold
The distant far off judgement
Is looking at our souls
Don't ask me how it got there
He's in your head and mine
He's with you when you're lying
He's with you when you're kind
He's with you when you're lonely
And he isn't only with you
He's with us too
He is time
It weren't my time then to see what you saw
It weren't my time around yet
Although I feel I was there all the time
You know it weren't my time around yet
It weren't my time then to fight with my mind
To battle with women and singing with the wine
I was just living in someone else's mind
It weren't my time then
It weren't my time then
It weren't my time around
Living in a street with no name on my door
It weren't my time around yet
To see what it's like through an inner sight
No, it weren't my time around yet
It weren't my time then to see what is life
To smell the sweet air and pray for love's wealth
I was just dreaming of a pocket full of gold
It weren't my time then
It weren't my time then
It weren't my time around
When it's my time I'll receive it with grace
When it's my time around
I'll look my sadness straight in the face
When it's my time around
When it's my time I'll remember all my days
I'll think of my friends and them hot summer days
But just before I leave, I've got something else to say
It weren't my time yet
It weren't my time yet
It weren't my time yet
It weren't my time yet
It weren't my time yet
It weren't my time yet around
Ain't my time around yet
