[00:00:01] Only a Matter of Time

[00:00:03] Dream Theater

[00:00:06] When Dream and Day Unite

[00:00:12] Music: Dream Theater

[00:00:15] Lyrics: Kevin Moore

[00:01:02] A suited man smiled said:

[00:01:04] "It's just a matter of time

[00:01:08] You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow

[00:01:11] Just sign on this line."

[00:01:16] Hold tight... limelight!

[00:01:18] Approaching the paramount

[00:01:19] With the sun in our eyes

[00:01:21] Fearing family ties, legalies, compromise

[00:01:25] In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage

[00:01:28] A dream-stricken prince of a pauper's descent

[00:01:31] Haunts the eavesdropping silence

[00:01:33] That presses his window

[00:01:35] As he sweats a performance

[00:01:37] To an audience that ticks on the wall

[00:01:41] To the practical observer

[00:01:42] It's just a matter of time

[00:01:46] "You can deviate from the com-monplace

[00:01:50] Only to fall back in line."

[00:01:54] I understand mine's a risky plan

[00:01:56] And your system can't miss

[00:01:58] But is security after all a cause

[00:02:00] Or symptom of happiness?

[00:02:19] Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on horizon in a steady-set gaze

[00:02:24] A mariner soon from an open cocoon

[00:02:27] Takes a moment to summon his courage

[00:02:31] To stifle his grave apprehension and

[00:02:33] Trembling, approaches the surf

[00:03:11] A father's benediction as his hopeful son departs

[00:03:14] To brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs

[00:03:17] Lingers in his memory

[00:03:18] And visions still surviving in a logic-proof shell

[00:03:22] That should have been held sacred, safe

[00:03:24] And hidden well

[00:03:24] Are compromised in usury

[00:03:26] With every rising sun that yields no sight of land

[00:03:29] The hesitation cultivates within the tired man

[00:03:32] And rumors spread of mutiny

[00:03:34] And though the time will come when

[00:03:36] Dream and day unite

[00:03:37] Tonight the only consolation causing

[00:03:39] Him to fight

[00:03:40] In fearless faith in destiny

[00:04:12] Even when plans fall to pieces

[00:04:16] I can still find the courage

[00:04:17] With promise I've found in my faith

[00:04:36] Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep

[00:04:39] And at odds with our senses we'll climb

[00:04:42] But if faith is the answer, we're already reached it

[00:04:45] And if spirit's a sign

[00:04:47] Then it's only a matter of time

[00:04:54] Only a matter of time
