THE TEST OF TIME  words & music by Lenny Solomon

It was fate, I was waiting by your front gate

Wondering if I was a little late

To pass on through

I was scarred, didn’t think it would be quite so hard

To come up with a winning card

To hold onto

But now when I look back and see, the path I’ve chosen for me

I can say with some certainty, that I’ll be fine

And pass the test of time, pass the test of time

Through the thick and the thin, pretenders would walk right in

Scream and holler that I have sinned

I was mystified

‘cause they bet, you’d turn your head without regret

Act as though we’d never met

And pass me by

But now when I look back and see, the path I’ve chosen for me

I can say with some certainty, that I’ll be fine

And pass the test of time, pass the test of time

break

Time just kept on traveling by till I opened up my eyes

And saw there was much more I could believe

I saw that each day passing was dying in disguise

That every single moment I should seize

To pass the test of time, pass the test of time

All around, words are falling from a dark cloud

Close my eyes before they hit the ground

Hope they wash away

At my feet, angry words that I just can’t repeat

I don’t know if I can take the heat

Should I call it a day

But now when I look back and see, the path I’ve chosen for me

I can say with some certainty, that I’ll be fine

And pass the test of time, pass the test of time
