Stop running away so no one can find you
So relentless and reckless
You haven't a moment to spare
So vague and obscure, this course has confined you
Won't you sooner or later
Emerge to the surface for air?
Far a-way from home
Take rest to clear your mind
You've been patronized and compromised
But one day you will climb
Out of the dark (into the light)
Out of the iron cage
And you know your time has come
You've made a mark (and left a sign)
You've made the world your stage
And you know your time has co--o--me
The years have gone by, and little is changing
One more notch on your belt
And the seasons have lightened your skin
The passion still flows like a river of fire
But to come to an end
You must understand where to begin
Find a place to dwell
Some place to free your soul
From the days of old
You break the mold
And let the faith arise
Out of the dark (into the light)
Out of the iron cage
And you know your time has come
You've made a mark (and left a sign)
You've made the world your stage
And you know your time has co--o--me
Far away from home
Take rest to clear your mind
Don't be patronized or agonized
There's only one way up to climb
Out of the iron cage
Then you know your time has come
You've made a mark (and left a sign)
You've made the world your stage
And you know your time has come
Out of the dark (over the land)
Into the lit up night
Yes you know your time has come
You've left a mark (and stood your ground)
You've fought with all your might
And you know your time has come
