Right On Time

I sent a wish up to the sky, Then checked my phone a thousand times. I told the stars, “Why not tonight?” They only laughed and said, “Be nice.” I planted dreams like little seeds, Then stared at dirt like, “Grow for me!” But every flower, every spring Takes its own sweet mystery. So I breathe in, I count to ten, I let the worry fade again. What wants to find me knows the way, It doesn’t need a holiday. Everything comes right on time, Not a second late in life. Hey, hey, I’m doing fine, What is mine will still be mine. Round and round the world may spin, I don’t have to chase the wind. Hey, hey, I’ve learned the rhyme: Everything comes right on time. Love may miss a train or two, Success may tie its stubborn shoes. Answers hide, then suddenly Walk in like they always knew. I used to rush the morning sun, Like I could make the daylight run. Now I just smile and trust the pace, Good things love a little space. So I breathe in, I count to ten, I let the worry fade again. The best surprises take their turn, Some candles need a while to burn. Everything comes right on time, Not a second late in life. Hey, hey, I’m doing fine, What is mine will still be mine. Round and round the world may spin, I don’t have to chase the wind. Hey, hey, I’ve learned the rhyme: Everything comes right on time. If it’s late, maybe it’s growing, If it’s quiet, maybe it’s knowing. If the door stays closed today, Maybe joy’s backstage on the way. Final Chorus Everything comes right on time, With a little faith and a smile. Hey, hey, I’m doing fine, Life has got its own design. Step by step and beat by beat, What I need will come to me. Hey, hey, I trust the signs: Everything comes right on time.
