🎧 LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
God is in the rain
God is in the fire
God is in the pain
Taking you higher
The devil's in the smiles, feeding your delusion
Evil are the minds, sowing the confusion
[BRIDGE]
Every day in every way, most people swear they’ll change
But every day, despite what they say, choose to stay the same
[CHORUS]
Time waits for no one
Greatness waits for you
Take the risk, let dreams take flight
Before your song is through
Time waits for no one
Greatness waits for you
Take the risk, let dreams take flight
before your song is through
[VERSE 2]
You’re gifted and you’re bold
There’s nothing that you can’t do
You feel it in your soul
That nothing’s gonna stop you
[BRIDGE]
Every day you hear them say that they’ll pursue their dreams
But every day, despite what they say, never do a thing
[CHORUS]
Time waits for no one.
Greatness waits for you.
Take the risk, let dreams take flight
Before your song is through
Time waits for no one
Greatness waits for you
Take the risk, let dreams take flight
before your song is through
[OUTRO]
Sing through the voices, that praise your yesterday
Dance past the fearful heart that's standing in your way
Sing through the voices, that praise your yesterday
Dance past the fearful heart that's standing in your way
