time for the payment

Richie Kotzen

Tell me that I'm fre, tell me that it's over
and tomorrow I'm gonna see
Nothing that I've seen before every night and day
I'll see the rainbow and know where it leads

So long, I've got to say goodbye
It feels like happiness, it has been taken to the test
And made me sober enough to let it rest
And now I can dream with nothing to expect
And nothing to lose, and nothing to fight

And I don't wonder why
because it's time for the payment
I'm somewhere in the sky and I fly like I'm weightless
Yea I was missing I was tripping
I was slipping so bad now it's time for the payment

It hit me like a weight took me
like an undertow that was so strong
And I couldn't breathe
And now I'm not the same
I'm not what I thought I was, but its ok
because ive been released

Right now I float like a feather in the air
I know you you can't see me
but you know that I'm everywhere
I know what your faith was
before they put you to the test, so long ago
But now theres nothing to confess
and nothing to lose, and nothing to fight

And I dont wonder why
because it's time for the payment
I'm somewhere in the sky with a smile on my face
and I don't wonder why
Because I fly like I'm weightless
Yea I was missing I was slipping
I was tripping so bad but I finally made the payment
Yea its a struggle its a struggle
everybody's got their trouble
but we gotta make the payment
