Lyrics

IT’S NOT MY TIME
(Words and music by Jason Bravo)

Verse 1:
No one’s wearing black as far as I can see.
No one’s sending flowers to my family.
I’ve studied every eye: I haven’t seen a tear.
I’m still here. IT’S NOT MY TIME.

Verse 2:
No one’s said a prayer or covered up their face.
I haven’t heard a single verse of “Amazing Grace.”
But for a moment, I thought that it might be
Over for me, but IT’S NOT MY TIME.

Bridge:
This situation seemed hopeless, too much for one soul to take,
But I am a branch that is bending, and there’s no way I can break.
I’ve looked at the reality.
I’ve looked in the mirror
And then inside of me
And I know IT’S NOT MY TIME.

(Verse instrumental)

Bridge:
This situation seemed hopeless, too much for one soul to take,
But I am a branch that is bending. There’s no way I’m gonna break.
I’ve looked at the reality.
I’ve looked in the mirror
And then inside of me
And I know IT’S NOT MY TIME.

Verse 3:
There’s gonna be a time I think about today
When all this complication will seem so far away.
But while I’m in the eye of the storm and the test,
I’m not gonna rest. IT’S NOT MY TIME.

Bridge:
This situation seemed hopeless, too much for one soul to take,
But I am a branch that is bending, and there’s no way I can break.
I’ve looked at the reality.
Looked in the mirror
And then inside of me
And I know IT’S NOT MY TIME.
Lord, I know IT’S NOT MY TIME.
