Time is Gone by Dave Thomas When I look back at my life I realize He was always near So as I leave there's no reason to shed a tear Now I know that I have grown through each of you so leaving won't bring fear I've always prayed that as I leave His voice is all I'll hear Chorus: This is the time to be strong When every day seems twice as long There's no time for crying As we join the Lord in dying We start our new lives when our time is gone The only road I hope to take is the one that ends on higher ground And even though I'd like to stay He knows it would keep me down So when I bid this world farewell I hope I won't see a frown Remember all the joys we shared together and I'll keep looking down Repeat Chorus Bridge: The only way to know what you need Is to look up at the sky and dream So don't be afraid to take that chance And there'll be no regrets, when your time is gone I have no regrets when I see whose hands I'm in As I start my new life, my time is gone
