Only a Matter of Time[00:00:01]

Dream Theater[00:00:03]

When Dream and Day Unite[00:00:06]

Music: Dream Theater[00:00:12]

Lyrics: Kevin Moore[00:00:15]

A suited man smiled said:[00:01:02]

"It's just a matter of time[00:01:04]

You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow[00:01:08]

Just sign on this line."[00:01:11]

Hold tight... limelight![00:01:16]

Approaching the paramount[00:01:18]

With the sun in our eyes[00:01:19]

Fearing family ties, legalies, compromise[00:01:21]

In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage[00:01:25]

A dream-stricken prince of a pauper's descent[00:01:28]

Haunts the eavesdropping silence[00:01:31]

That presses his window[00:01:33]

As he sweats a performance[00:01:35]

To an audience that ticks on the wall[00:01:37]

To the practical observer[00:01:41]

It's just a matter of time[00:01:42]

"You can deviate from the com-monplace[00:01:46]

Only to fall back in line."[00:01:50]

I understand mine's a risky plan[00:01:54]

And your system can't miss[00:01:56]

But is security after all a cause[00:01:58]

Or symptom of happiness?[00:02:00]

Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on horizon in a steady-set gaze[00:02:19]

A mariner soon from an open cocoon[00:02:24]

Takes a moment to summon his courage[00:02:27]

To stifle his grave apprehension and[00:02:31]

Trembling, approaches the surf[00:02:33]

A father's benediction as his hopeful son departs[00:03:11]

To brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs[00:03:14]

Lingers in his memory[00:03:17]

And visions still surviving in a logic-proof shell[00:03:18]

That should have been held sacred, safe[00:03:22]

And hidden well[00:03:24]

Are compromised in usury[00:03:24]

With every rising sun that yields no sight of land[00:03:26]

The hesitation cultivates within the tired man[00:03:29]

And rumors spread of mutiny[00:03:32]

And though the time will come when[00:03:34]

Dream and day unite[00:03:36]

Tonight the only consolation causing[00:03:37]

Him to fight[00:03:39]

In fearless faith in destiny[00:03:40]

Even when plans fall to pieces[00:04:12]

I can still find the courage[00:04:16]

With promise I've found in my faith[00:04:17]

Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep[00:04:36]

And at odds with our senses we'll climb[00:04:39]

But if faith is the answer, we're already reached it[00:04:42]

And if spirit's a sign[00:04:45]

Then it's only a matter of time[00:04:47]

Only a matter of time[00:04:54]
