Lyrics
A suited man smiled and said, "It's just a matter of time
You can have the world at your feet
By tomorrow, just sign on this line"
Hold tight, limelight, approaching
The paramount with the sun in our eyes
Nearing legalized family ties, compromise
In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage
A dream-stricken prince of a pauper's
Descent haunts the eavesdropping silence
That presses his window as he sweats a performance
To an audience that ticks on the wall
To the practical observer, it's just a matter of time
You can deviate from the commonplace only to fall back in line
Inherะตnt counsel to obstinate minds
Urging lifะตlong submission to dutiful rhymes
Afraid yet afraid, his eyes on horizon in a steady-set gaze
A liar and a soot from an open cocoon
Takes a moment to summon his courage
To stifle his grave apprehension and trembling approaches the circle
A father's benediction as his hopeful son departs
To brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs
Lingers in his memory
The vision still surviving in a logic-proof shell
That should have been held sacred, safe
And hid well from compromise and usury
With every rising sun and guiltful sight of land
The hesitation cultivates within the tired man
Who has spread out dutifully
And though the time of Godward dreaming may be ranked tonight
The only consolation causing him to
Fight is fear of his fate and destiny
Even when plans fall to pieces
I can still find the courage with promise I found in my faith
Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep
In at odds with our senses combined
But if faith is a factor, we've already reached it
And if spirit's a sign then it's only a matter of time
Only a matter of time
