    - Dream Theater

Samples:

"Hold it now" is from the Beastie Boys song, "Hold It Now".

"Wait a minute" is possibly Frank Zappa.

"Come on" is Chuck D from Public Enemy.

"Whew..." is unknown.

 "Hold it now"
 "Wait a minute"
 "Come on"
 "Whew..."

 Just let me catch my breath...
 I've heard the promises
 I've seen the mistakes
 I've had my fair share of tough breaks
 I need a new voice, a new law, a new way
 Take the time, reevaluate
 It's time to pick up the pieces,
 Go back to square one
 I think it's time for a change

 There is something that I feel
 To be something that is real
 I feel the heat within my mind
 And craft new changes with my eyes
 Giving freely wandering promises
 A place with decisions I'll fashion
 I won't waste another breath

 [Chorus:]
   You can feel the waves coming on
   (It's time to take the time)
   Let them destroy you or carry you on
   (It's time to take the time)
   You're fighting the weight of the world
   But no one can save you this time
   Close your eyes
   You can find all you need in your mind

 The unbroken spirit
 Obscured and disquiet
 Finds clearness this trial demands
 And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief
 For the fortune lies still in his hands

 If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year
 A man must learn to cope
 If his obsession's real,
 Suppression that he feels must turn to hope

 Life is no more assuring than love
 (It's time to take the time)
 There are no answers from voices above
 (It's time to take the time)
 You're fighting the weight of the world
 And no one can save you this time
 Close your eyes
 You can find all that you need in your mind

Sample:

From the Italian film Cinema Paradiso, which means "Now that I'm blind, I can see much clearer."

The liner note text is from the video for Take The Time, and is incorrect. In the film it is "Ora che ho perso la vista ci vedo di pił.", which has the same translation.

 I close my eyes
 And feel the water rise around me
 Drown in the beat of time
 Let my senses fall away
 I can see much clearer now, I'm blind

 "Adesso che ho perso la vista,
  ci vedo meglio e di pił."

 [Chorus]

 Find all you need in your mind
 If you take the time
 Find all you need in your mind
 If you take the time
