[Verse 1]

Open my eyes and see the messy aftermath

I'm a soldier fighting where truth and heart clash

Feel like I've been poured out, time and time again

I'm weary and discouraged, maybe it will never end

If I'm honest, I would climb into this foxhole

I know that I'm a coward longing for the comfortable

I lost my helmet in the dirt a long time ago

My gun is rusted and I'm all out of ammo

God, get me out of here... man, I'm desperate

Just another calm before another storm, I'm sure of it

And why do I feel like the worst soldier in the world

Undeserved in every way of any medal or pearl

My barricade destroyed, I'm so vulnerable

I'm light-headed, maybe ‘cause I'm paralyzed with fear

Can you find me, ‘cause I'm buried underneath the rubble

I just really want to hear


[Hook]

It won't be long

Won't be long

It won't be long ‘til your time will come

It won't be long

Won't be long

It won't be long until your time will come


[Verse 2]

A time to be born and also a time to die

A time to plant and a time to harvest what's inside

A time to break it down, and a time to build it up

A time to weep, and a time you couldn't laugh enough

A time to stay close, and times of isolation

A time to speak, and a time of silence, being patient

A time to seek out, and a time to lose it all

A time to keep, and times to cast away, watch ‘em fall

A time to tear, and a time to suture up again

A time where feelings kill, and times for healing them

A time for war and a time for peace to settle in

A time to love, and a time to hate everything

From dust I came, and to dust I surely will return

There's something deep, something that makes my heart yearn

I believe the God of love, and it's Him I fear

In every single season of my year, I know it won't be long


[Verse 2]

It won't be long

Won't be long

It won't be long ‘til your time will come

It won't be long

Won't be long

It won't be long until your time will come
