Right On Time

I know that seasons change, but still it always take me by surprise

I pretend I'm in control, arranging all the pieces of my life

Then one day my son stopped holding my hand

And I knew I had to let the boy become a man

If it were up to me it came too soon

But maybe he was right on time

Right on time

Right on time

I could see the smoke long before my life went up in flames

But some things must be lost if they ever have a hope of being saved

Lying on the bathroom floor in tears

Praying for a miracle to come and meet me here

I was afraid it was too late

But maybe I was right on time

Right on time

Right on time

When you're falling apart

And it's breaking your heart

You can't see any reason

Or find any meaning

There's a valley you have to get through

You can't hurry 'cause it won't let you

But it's leading us somewhere

And when we finally get there

We're right on time

I'm sorry for the times I was afraid my life was slipping through your hands

When we look back at the end of our lives

Will we see the way you made straight every crooked line?

Maybe by then we won't be surprised

To find that you were right on time

Right on time

Right on time
