Lyrics
If my soul had dashboard dials
They would show a million miles
It's trekked alleys dirt roads too
No one thought I'd make it through
Not knowing
Which way I was going
Engine started smoking
Those days took their toll
My mistakes
Spun like tires with no brakes
Life was filled with earth quakes
'til I took control
If you say you're at the end
Scared of what's around the bend
I know how you feel
It's time to take the wheel
There's a smoother road ahead
Calling you to ride instead
It's your time to heal
It's time to take the wheel
It's time
Stalled in darkness, you want light
So frustrated, nothing's right
You ask questions, "Oh why me?"
In park but you have the key
You're fearing
That a wall is nearing
Blame whoever's steering
They should have a clue
Look nearer
Who is in the mirror?
It should be much clearer
That the driver's, you
If you say you're at the end
Scared of what's around the bend
I know how you feel
It's time to take the wheel
There's a smoother road ahead
Calling you to ride instead
It's your time to heal
It's time to take the wheel
It's time
Life's full of twists and turns
One thing's sure, rubber will be burned
We're not born with a GPS
So trust your gut, do your best
Don't like this path? Change your course
Don't stay off track and live with remorse
It ain't easy, just worth the drive
Don't stop now, you're alive!
If you say you're at the end
Scared of what's around the bend
I know how you feel
It's time to take the wheel
There's a smoother road ahead
Calling you to ride instead
It's your time to heal
It's time to take the wheel
It's time, it's time, it's time
There's a smoother road ahead
Calling you to ride instead
It's your time to heal
It's time to take the wheel
It's time
