Story Behind The Song
The idea for the song came to me while I was driving - everything is beautiful in its own time - and I pondered it. Was it true? I wasn't sure. I took the idea to my co-writer and good friend Bill DiLuigi and we talked about it. He liked the idea and we scheduled a session to see where we could take it. At that session we took out a bible and low and behold found that line in the book of Ecclesiastes! That sold us on the idea - it was a God idea. I suppose the rest was pure inspiration.
Song Description
We all have seasons in our lives when we are searching, striving for meaning. We can spend so much time trying to grasp what life is all about that we miss the blessings we have at that very moment.

Lyrics
In Its Own Time
w/m Bill DiLuigi, Karin Paparelli
V1
Had to take a break from the madness of life
Breathe the cool sweet air up on the mountainside
Walking through the meadow where the wild flowers grow
thinking this was smoke and ash just a year ago
Chorus:
I?ve searched for the truth and wrestled with life
missing the blessings in front of my eyes
When everything lives and everything dies
And everything is beautiful in its own time
V2.
Fools and wisemen have struggled to find
An easier path over the hills we climb
Thinking that the prize is in reaching the goal
Forgetting the journey is what matters most
Bridge:
Time, in time, we?ll be burned by the fire
In time we?ll be washed by the rain
But our roots will go deeper
And each moment is sweeter
Rejoicing in the beauty, embracing the pain
