The bell strikes my hour, I greet the setting sun I do not understand why all of this is still undone The river that used to flood is now a bed of sand I only hope that these dreams will refresh this drying land The mind wonders across the time Never lets me rest It's taken control, pulling the strings And all seems like a mess Distant shore on ahead Pushing through the waves Standing at the crossroads Knowing which path to take Release the time After all you're in the prime No longer pretend And silence will be your new friend Release your mind Don't let yourself be confined On a way to make amends And learning how to transcend The new life has appeared, fresh and plentiful The greatest time on the way and I am acceptable Distant shore on ahead Pushing through the waves Standing at the crossroads Knowing which path to take Release the time After all you're in the prime No longer pretend And silence will be your new friend Release your mind Don't let yourself be confined On a way to make amends And learning how to transcend Like turns of the tides, feelings come and go Some will move you and I, some leave us cold The essence of this all is if we shed a tear And share a smile, there's nothing to fear Release the time After all you're in the prime No longer pretend And silence will be your new friend Release your mind Don't let yourself be confined On a way to make amends And learning how to transcend Release the time After all you're in the prime No longer pretend And silence will be your new friend Release your mind Don't let yourself be confined On a way to make amends And learning how to transcend
