Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking back on my life
You know that all I see are things I coulda changed
I should have done
Where did the good times go?
Good times so hard to hold
This time, this time
This time, I'm gonna find
[Instrumental]
Looking back on my life
You know that all I see are things I coulda changed
I could have done
No time for sad lament
A wasted life is bitter spent
[Chorus]
So rise into the light
In or out of time
I'm gonna rise straight through the light
In or out of time
[Instrumental]
Woke up another day
The pain won't go away
I am growing
In peculiar ways
Into a light I pass
Another dream, another trance
This time, this time
This time, I'm gonna
[Chorus]
Rise into the light
In or out of time (With the little strength inside me)
Gonna find my way in life
In or out of time (I'm still seeing things in black and white)
I'm gonna rise straight to the light
In or out of time (With the little strength inside of me, yeah)
[Bridge]
I'm gonna see the light
I'm gonna see the light
I'm gonna see the light
'Cause I know there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time
Through the light
To the light, through the light
To the light, through the light
Through the light, through the light
Through the light
To the light, through the light
To the light, through the light
Straight through the light
