My Time Is Gonna Come

I've seen so much beauty and ugliness unfold

When you've locked horns with the devil, takes a strong will not to fold

And I've begun believing that all that I've been through

Has been the forge that tempered me and led me straight to you

Put your trust in me, just like you laid your hand in mine

The best is yet to come and the worst is far behind

'Cause I ain't done running yet

Truth told, I've just begun

I got a real strong sense of knowin', baby

That my time is gonna come

Don't know where I'm headed next

But I know that I'm movin' on

I've got my heart in the way I'm goin', baby

And my time is gonna come

My time, my time is gonna come

I spent no time waitin' for the path to be revealed

I played your bars and dancehalls from Fort Worth to Bakersfield

And I can see the faces of the friends who've come and gone

Smile and wave goodbye, we'll meet again before too long

On the days I feel my soul sinkin' to the ground

I let that music lift me to the higher plane I'm bound

'Cause I ain't done running yet

Truth told, I've just begun

I got a real strong sense of knowin', baby

That my time is gonna come

Don't know where I'm headed next

But I know that I'm movin' on

I've got my heart in the way I'm goin', baby

And my time is gonna come

My time, my time is gonna come

My time is gonna come
