I look out on the city lights. The guarded streets below. I marvel at my history. The things that I don't know. Just another question. A shadow on my soul. Will there be time. Will there be time before I go. I left home in a hurry. Off to see the world. Then I played some music. Then I loved a girl. Someone called me papa. Took my breath away. Would I be fine. Would I be alright with just today. Will there be time enough for me before I go. Love without rules. Love without end. Sending a lofty prayer for peace out on the wind. Breaking the curse. Breaking the chain...... Making a promise I won't have to make again. I look out on the city lights. The stories that they tell. And wonder at my destiny. Beyond this carousel. Such a hollow question. A tether frayed by fear. Will there be time. Time to let go while I'm here. Will there be time enough for me so I'll know. Will there be time enough for me before I go. .
