There was a time when the passions burned

There was a moment when the challenge moved me

But that was then, that was then

There was a time when my heart would yearn

There was a moment when I had to be free

But that was then, that was then

There is a time when my flame burns dim

There is a moment when the desires leave me

And that time is now, that time is now

There is a time when my future is grim

There is a moment when I want not to be

And time is now, that time is now

There’ll be a time when the future looks bright

There’ll be a moment when hope grows within me

But that time will be, that time will be

There is a time when I won’t dread the night

There is a moment when fear won’t consume me

But that time will be, that time will be

There is a time that was then, 

There is a time that is now

There is a time that will be

And through it all, I wonder how it will end

I wonder how it will end
