As we arise with the sun in our eyes, catch a break from the dark
Still times when nothing's alright as we bandage up all our parts

Well, I'm a builder of bridges and I could fly us up to the moon
When your time is limited, well, nothing happens too soon

Navigate, come find a way, our differences be damned
So much space between us in the distance of our hands

Stakes are raised to elevate, just a second to understand
What you give, this will to live

You got the cure, I'll fight the fight
It's just a matter of time

Submit the evidence and take the stand, let the truth testify
If I were but a grain of sand, I'd still resist this tide

But we're not alone on this crowded shore and times they do demand
Shrink the space between us, a reaching of a hand

Stakes are raised to elevate, just a second to understand
What you give, this will to live

You got the cure, I got the fight
It's just a matter of time

A matter of time
Just a matter of time
A matter of time
Matter of time
Matter of time
A matter of time
A matter of time

I found myself when I found my tribe
Now I know what it's like to feel alive

I'll take the joy, I'll take the pain
We're just like you, we're all the same

A matter of time
Matter of time
Matter of time
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time (join together)
Matter of time
