Mike Oldfield - The Time Has Come Lyrics

(music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield sung by Anita Hegerland)

A thousand years, they waited for
Someone who would be true,
And now the empty years have passed,
The sunlight shines anew.

[ Chorus ]

Someone who knows no fear,
I feel him near.
The child was born to be a king, a king,
And the time has come.

He tamed the wild wind when he passed,
The birds and beasts he knew,
Until he came to rest, at last,
The tall gates he passed through.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

And now the story's just begun.
A thousand years to stay.
We wake each morning with the sun
To live our dreams away.

[ Repeat Chorus ]
