Name: It Is Time
Duration: P00H02M31S
Description: Once upon a time, in the middle of the Caribbean Ocean, there was a song writing contest. The song had to be about leaving one place and going to another - but it could not be sad and sorrowful. I wrote "It Is Time" as a story of following my family's footsteps though history - and won the contest! This is the song that got me into serious writing and performing!

lyrics

I heard a voice from across the green
And it sang of a place that my eyes hadn’t seen.
Now it plays in my heart and it grows in my mind:
It is time to go home. It is time. It is time.

Well, the song that I heard had a story to tell,
Of the good times and bad times, of heaven and hell;
Of the road that was traveled by my father's kind,
And it's time to go home. It is time. It is time.

Now, the song and the story lie deep in my heart,
Of the land and the history of which I am part,
So, the circle goes round, now the journey is mine
For it's time to go home. It is time. It is time.

Oh, Land of my father and his fathers, too
I am making this journey to come back to you

For your story and song give me reason and rhyme
And it's time to go home, it is time. Yes, it's time.
And it's time that I'm home. Yes, it's time, it's my time!
