4Him - When It's Time To Go Lyrics

Nothin' new in this old town
The sun comes up and heads back down
Workin' hard from dawn to dusk again

Seventeen and a heart for a change
The byways callin' out his name but not yet
There's too much goin' on

'Cause daddy needs a hand and mama's
Tender heart might crumble to the ground
Though they'd understand, he felt like sayin'

When it's time to go
You've got to let me go away and face the world
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Cry some tears, don't worry

When I hit the city
I'll build you a house right down the street from mine
Have some faith in me
And I'll show you why

Some years later, late one night
He came in tryin' to dry his eyes
He realized what he was born to do

He said, "I'll always be your son"
And I know you know what's goin' on
It's the hardest thing to think of leavin' you

But this world needs a hand and I've got
Just the thing they need to make it through
It's so clear to me though I know what's comin'

When it's time to go
You've got to let me go away and face the world
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Cry some tears, don't worry

When I hit the city
I'll build you a house right down the street from mine
Have some faith in me
And I'll show you why

And as they tore his flesh like animals
There were those I know who felt him say

When it's time to go
You've got to let me go away and save the world
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Cry some tears, don't worry

When I hit the city
I'll build you a house right down the street from mine
Oh, have some faith in me
And I'll show you why

When it's time to go
You've got to let me go away and save the world
Say goodbye, oh, say goodbye
Cry some tears, don't worry

When I hit the city
I'll build you a house right down the street from mine
Have some faith in me
And I'll show you why

When it's time to go
You've got to let me go away and save the world
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Cry some tears, don't worry

When I hit the city
I'll build you a house right down the street from mine
Oh, have some faith in me
And I'll show you why
