- Kevin Moore

A suited man smiled said:
3
"It's just a matter of time
4
You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow
5
just sign on this line."
6
Hold tight... limelight!
7
Approaching the paramount
8
with the sun in our eyes
9
fearing family ties, legalies, compromise
10
In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage
11
a dream-stricken prince of a pauper's descent
12
haunts the eavesdropping silence
13
that presses his window
14
as he sweats a performance
15
to an audience that ticks on the walls
16
To the practical observer
17
It's just a matter of time
18
"You can deviate from the commonplace
19
only to fall back in line."
20
I understand mine's a risky plan
21
and your system can't miss
22
But is security after all a cause
23
or symptom of happiness?
24
Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on horizon
25
in a steady-set gaze
26
a mariner soon from an open cocoon
27
takes a moment to summon his courage
28
to stifle his grave apprehension and
29
trembling, approaches the surf
30
A father's benediction as his hopeful son departs
31
to brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs
32
lingers in his memory
33
and visions still surviving in a logic-proof shell
34
that should have been held sacred, safe and hidden well
35
are compromised in usury
36
With every rising sun that yields no sight of land
37
the hesitation cultivates within the tired man
38
and rumors spread of mutiny
39
and though the time will come when dream and day unite
40
tonight the only consolation causing him to fight
41
is fearless faith in destiny
42
Even when plan fall to pieces
43
I can still find the courage
44
with promise I've found in my faith
45
Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep
46
and at odds with our senses we'll climb
47
But if faith is the answer, we've already reached it
48
And if spirit's a sign
49
then it's only a matter of time
50
only a matter of time
