Song Lyrics

Redemption is all I really need
Cause I've been living like a liar and a thief
They say that you spend your lifetime burning
But I spend mine, just turning and turning

And oh, will it shine through, all that I've been waiting for
Living in the real time, it's been getting to me
Oh yeah, will it shine through, all that I've been waiting for
Taking its sweet time in getting to me

Love is the answer, at least for some
But love is the devil when you have none
So empty your pockets and lay down your dimes
It costs what you've got and you pay every time

And oh, will it shine through, all that I've been waiting for
Living in the real time, it's been getting to me
Oh yeah, will it shine through, all that I've been waiting for
Taking its sweet time in getting to me

So, let go your mind when you're feeling it slip
Yeah, and let go your heart when you're feeling it dip
Sometimes, there's not much a poor soul can do
But dream of the life you've got coming to you

And oh, when it shines through, all that I've been waiting for
Living in the real time, it's been getting to me
Oh, oh, when it shines through, all that I've been waiting for
It's taking its sweet time in getting to me

Hey, taking its sweet time
But getting to me
