Night time, see the castles burning

Smoke in the skies and tears in their eyes

As the world keeps turning

Sleep now, hear a distant thunder

It's far away, at least for today

Close your eyes and wonder



Spring turns so quickly to summer

Summer so quickly to fall

It seemed far away, or it was yesterday

When time didn't matter at all

And then you met your winter

While dancing with her daughters

Till tired and cold

Were much wiser than bold

You wait for tomorrow to call



All of your life you have waited alone for a Savior

He's not coming

A carousel horse, who is constantly lost

Standing still but always running

And all of those things that you needed so bad

You have found they mean nothing

Oh Lord, I'm coming home



I'm searching through the haze 

that's drifting through my mind

Stare in the looking glass and wonder who I'll find

No one would listen to a man upon the water

Until they were old and their mountains of gold 

couldn't buy any more time



All of your life you have waited alone for the Savior

He's not coming

A carousel horse, who is constantly lost

Standing still but always running

And all of those things that you needed so bad

You have found they mean nothing

And Oh Lord, I'm coming home
