Verse 1

Middle of midnight waiting for noon
Swimming in lies reaching for the truth
Whatever it is that you are going through
I’ll be right there next to you

Chorus 1

Oh you know the sun
Will show its face
Oh there’s a rhythm to the waves
It just takes the time it takes

Verse 2

You’re gonna fall so teach yourself to laugh
When you turn wrong just turn right back
Set your pace
But don’t you go too fast
You know they say
The first will be last

Chorus 2

Oh you’re gonna learn
From your mistakes
Oh slow and steady wins the race
It just takes the time it takes

Bridge

Everything everything
By and by
Everything everything
Try and try

Tag 1

Oh like gravity and grace
It just takes the time it takes

Verse 3

Saints turn sinners
And turn right back again
This beautiful old world we’re in
It’s broken but
It just keeps on spinning
To where we’re goin’
From where we’ve been

Chorus 3

Oh you know hope will conquer hate
Oh and love will bind up any break
It just takes the time it takes

Bridge

Everything everything
By and by
Everything everything
Try and try

Chorus 4

Oh but like gravity and grace
Oh just like falling into place
Oh you know something’s gotta change
It just takes the time it takes
