When It’s Time to Go

Lyrics

Nothing new in this old town The  sun comes up and heads back down Working  hard from dawn to dusk again Seventeen and a heart for change The byways calling out His name But  not yet, there's too much going on 'Cause  daddy needs a hand And mama's tender heart Might  crumble to the ground Though they'd understand He felt like saying When it's time to go You've got to let Me go away And  face the world 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 trying 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 going on It's the hardest thing to think of leaving 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 coming When it's time to go You've got to let Me go away And face the world 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, 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 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, 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
