Take the Time (Live in NYC - 1993)
Alright, we got one more song we're gonna do
And then we're gonna take a short intermission
This is actually our new single release
If you know the words to this
Take the time, help us out, alright
I've heard the promises, I've seen the mistakes
I've had my fair share of tough breaks
Need a new voice, a new law, a new way
Take the time, reevaluate
It's time to pick up the pieces, go back to square one
I think it's time for a change
There is something that I feel
To be something that is real
I feel the heat within my mind
And craft new changes with my eyes
Giving freely-wandering promises
A place with decisions I'll fashion
I won't waste another breath
You can feel the waves coming on, come on
Let them destroy you or carry you on
You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes, you can find all you need in your mind
Unbroken spirit, obscured and disquiet
Finds clearness this trial demands
At the end of this day sighs an anxious relief
For the fortune lies still in his hands
If there's pensive fear, a wasted year
A man must learn to cope
If his obsession's real
Suppression that he feels must turn to hope
Life is no more assuring than love, come on
There are no answers from voices above
You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind
Close my eyes
Feel the water rise around me
Drown the beat of time
Let my senses fall away
I can see much clearer now I'm blind
You can feel the waves coming on, come on
Let them destroy you, or carry you on
You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes, find all you need in your mind
Ooh-ooh
Ooh, yeah
C'mon New York, let's put our hands together
Make some noise
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time
Alright, people
We're gonna take a short break, we'll be right back
Stick around, alright?
You people sound great tonight, I wanna thank you
We'll be right back, see you all
Thank you
And then we're gonna take a short intermission
This is actually our new single release
If you know the words to this
Take the time, help us out, alright
I've heard the promises, I've seen the mistakes
I've had my fair share of tough breaks
Need a new voice, a new law, a new way
Take the time, reevaluate
It's time to pick up the pieces, go back to square one
I think it's time for a change
There is something that I feel
To be something that is real
I feel the heat within my mind
And craft new changes with my eyes
Giving freely-wandering promises
A place with decisions I'll fashion
I won't waste another breath
You can feel the waves coming on, come on
Let them destroy you or carry you on
You're fighting the weight of the world
