This Time Lyrics by John Elefante

On My Way to the Sun

0

[verse 1]
She sat cold in a waiting room
Frightened and all alone
Watched the clock tick down
Knowing that her baby would soon be gone
Her head slung low, so embarrassed
She was 13 years old
She felt a kick inside as a reminder
Of a life she couldn't show

[verse 2]
Then she heard a voice inside saying, "Run away!
It was a mistake, but don't throw your child away!"
Then she fell into a light sleep
Had a dream about a little girl
There was a birthday cake and three candles
She was living in another world
She saw the little girl become a woman
Living in a happy home
Then she was suddenly awakened
By a voice that called her name

[Chorus]
They said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine
You're still young, we see this all the time."
Right then the Lord began to speak:
"You're not taking this one! She's Mine!
She'll grow up and seek My name
You're not taking her! She's Mine!
And you're not taking her this time
No, you're not taking her this time."

[verse 3]
She laid flat on the table
She asked "Please, can I talk to someone?"
But a headstrong woman with a blank stare
Said "We've gotta get this done."
Then she cried out loud, "Please help me!
I've got to get to a phone!
I need to call my momma
To help me find my baby a home!"

[Chorus]
They said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine
You're still young, we see this all the time."
Right then the Lord began to speak:
"You're not taking this one! She's Mine!
She'll grow up to seek My name
You're not taking her this time
I decided before time began
Her name is written in the Book
They didn't have the power to take her life
They're not taking her - she's Mine!
You're not taking her this time
No, you're not taking her this time."
This time
No, you're not taking her this time
