Verse 1 It’s time… time now, my friend. Come now. Time to come in. Enough is enough. Come out of the rough. Come in… come in… Come in, my friend. The funny thing about everything Is every ending starts again. It all begins, Then one day bends, And every beginning learns to end. You never really know the why, Or how, Or even when. You just know you lived it once… Once upon a when. A place you thought you’d never leave, A road you thought would never end. A time you swore would never change… Yet here you stand and still Faith is what remains after the when ⸻ Pre-Chorus Every smile. Every scar. Made you into who you are. Every road, Near or far, Led you right here to this part. Hear the calling. Don’t look back. Leave the darkness dressed in black. One more step please… That’s all it takes. Move your feet. Your heart’s about to wake. Your soul is not asleep. Do it for your own sake ⸻ Chorus It’ll call out your name. Its magnetic pull Will want you to play But no—you don’t. You walk away. Come in… come in… my friend. This ain’t where your story ends. Leave the hurt. Don’t look again. Let tomorrow pull you in. When the past keeps calling loud, Don’t you dare turn back around. Keep your feet on holy ground. It’s time… It’s time… It’s time now. ⸻ Verse 2 Even when you cannot see, Grace is working underneath. Every tear you’ve cried alone Falls like mercy over stone. Hold on now. Don’t lose your way. Night was never built to stay. Lift your eyes… You’re almost through. Don’t let fear decide for you. You may feel the weight of grief, But staying there steals your peace. Every breath… Take it slow. Healing grows where courage goes. Leave not in hate. Nor in pride. Leave what steals your soul behind. The memories were worth the miles. Even pain can reconcile. Put your trust in God’s own hands. Sometimes faith means… Just to stand. We receive When we stop demanding proof, And learn To trust the truth. ⸻ Pre-Chorus II Despite what’s happening now… Despite what you don’t understand… Truth keeps growing quietly Like seeds beneath the land. Yesterday is yesterday. Leave your fear. Let hope remain. You don’t have to wear those chains. Lift your eyes into the light. Even wrong can turn out right. Hold on through the darkest night… Come alive. ⸻ Chorus It’ll call out your name. Its magnetic pull Will make its way. But no—you don’t. You walk away. Come in… come in… my friend. This ain’t where your story ends. Leave the hurt. Don’t look again. Let tomorrow pull you in. When the past keeps calling loud, Don’t you dare turn back around. Keep your feet on holy ground. It’s time… It’s time… It’s time now. ⸻ Bridge (everything drops except piano, guitar & vocal) Tune it out. Quiet the noise. Don’t let doubt Steal your voice. The harder you push, The harder it pounds. But fear only echoes Inside hollow sounds. The devil speaks softly When you stop to hear. But starts screaming louder When freedom gets near. So wait awhile… Let him pass. Storms don’t stay. They never last. Every wound becomes a scar. Every scar reminds who you are. God has never been that far. Come as you are… Come as you are… ⸻ Final Chorus (full band, choir, accordion enters) It’s time… Time now, my friend. Come now. Time to come in. Enough is enough. Come out of the rough. Come in… Come in… Come in, my friend. Broken roads don’t have to win. Every ending lets love in. Every fall can rise again. Hear the whisper— Not the shame. You don’t have to stay the same. God is calling out your name. It’s time… Come home again. (Accordion answers the vocal melody here while the crowd sings “Come in… Come in…” and the washboard drives the groove.) ⸻ Outro (accordion, acoustic guitar, choir fades) A day will come… You’ll laugh again. You’ll know somehow Just where you’ve been. You’re still you… But stronger now. The you You were always becoming. You’ll look behind… Smile… And finally call it… The past.
