Lyrics
The Time Being
S. Leatherwood, B Gentry
The cloudy sky don't bother me now
I know that I can make it somehow
I've got myself, I've got my friends to help me through
Today's a game, a game I can win
You were just a dream, a dream I was in
I'm wakin' up and I know what I've got to do
Now it's time, it's time for me to begin
And it's time to feel the sun on my skin
And this time I won't go back
No I'm never goin' back again
And for the time being, I'm being strong
And for the time being, I'm carrying on
I'm doing my best, I'm learning how
To hold on, hold on to right now
And for the time being I don't think of nights
And the way that she kissed me and held me so tight
I forget all those feelings and for the time being
I feel alright
That wind can blow, it don't hurt me at all
Bring on the thunder and let the rain fall
Just for the moment I've got some peace inside my soul
Today I'm happy right where I am
I think about you and it ain't so bad
I just keep movin' and watchin' the world unfold
And it's time, it's time to feel something new
And this time there is so much I can do
And this time I know I'll make it
I know I'm gonna make it through
