I shed my skin
And set aside this self-made darkness
'n walk on into the light
I'm sick of this prison
I been calling my life
I finally found out the gates of hell are locked from the inside
Just like Moses
Headed for the Promised Land
We don't get to know where we're goin'
We only know where we've been
Hope
Whenever you gotta start, ya start
Faith
Whatever you gotta leave, you leave
Life
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Love
Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing
Joy
Whatever you want to start, ya start
Time
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Trust
Sometimes you gotta scream
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
We don't get forever
We just get now or never
To make the best or the worst of the time that we got
There's power in this groove
And I surrender to the river
It's takin' me to
I'll learn to swim
I'm getting in
I'm getting wet
I may be drownin'
But I ain't dead yet
Hope
Whenever you gotta start, ya start
Faith
Whatever you gotta leave, you leave
Life
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Love
Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing
Joy
Whatever you want to start, ya start
Time
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Trust
Sometimes you gotta scream
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
Oh baby
It's all right
You only gotta face yourself
To make it to the other side
Oh baby you don't know what you'll find
'Till you tear down those walls
And make up your mind
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
I been tryin'
Prayin' cryin
Lord, what's it gonna take
Step by step you go on
Knowin' that you hold on
It's just about time
