Take a Minute

from Time to Shine by Kai Mata

lyrics

[Verse 1]
The stars are ready.
The sky turns heavy
Shades of blue.
The light’s beginning.
The trees are singing,
Just for you.

[Bridge]
And in the night time,
Things don’t ever take their time.
Things don’t ever take their time.
So will you take your time?

[Chorus]
Or will you run?
Leaving everything behind.
Running back to better times.
Longing for the other side.
Where will you go?
Back into what used to be?
Jumping in the unknown sea?
Take a minute; stop and breathe.

[Verse 2]
The words are ringing.
The eyes, they glisten.
Feel the fear.
The heart: unsteady.
The mind has many
Thoughts to hear.

[Bridge]
For in the night time,
Things don’t ever take their time.
Things don’t ever take their time.
So will you take your time?

[Chorus]
Or will you run?
Leaving everything behind.
Running back to better times.
Longing for the other side.
Where will you go?
Back into what used to be?
Jumping in the unknown sea?
Take a minute; stop and breathe.

[Bridge]
Will you take a minute?
Will you take a minute?
Will you take a minute with me?
Will you take a minute?
Will you take a minute?
Will you take a minute with me?

[Chorus]
Or will you run?
Leaving everything behind.
Running back to better times.
Longing for the other side.
Where will you go?
Back into what used to be?
Jumping in the unknown sea?
Take a minute; stop and breathe.

[Outro]
Will you take a minute?
Will you take a minute?
Will you take a minute with me?
