Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I know that seasons change, but still it always take?me by surprise 

I pretend I?m in control, arranging all the pieces of my life 


Then one day my son?stopped holding my hand 

And I knew I had to let the boy become a man 

If it were up to me it came too soon 

But maybe he?was right on?time 

Right on time 

Right on time 

 

I could see the smoke long before my life went up in flames 

But some things must be lost?if they ever have a?hope?of being saved 

 

Lying on the bathroom floor in tears 

Praying for?a miracle to come and meet me?here 

I was afraid it was?too late 

But maybe I?was right on?time 

Right on time 

Right on time 


When you?re falling apart 

And?it?s breaking your heart 

You can?t see any reason 

Or find any meaning 

There?s a valley you have to get through 

You can?t hurry ?cause it won?t let you 

But it?s leading us somewhere 

And when we finally get there 

We?re right on?time 


I?m sorry for the times I was afraid my life was slipping through your hands 


When we look back at the end of our lives 

Will we see the way you made straight every crooked line? 

Maybe by then we won?t be surprised 

To find that you were right on time 

Right on time 

Right on time
