lyrics

Take the time to look around
See the world and hear the sounds
Waves are crashing on the shore

Take the time to feel alive
Seize the world and hold it tight
The waves are lapping at your feet
The time has come to walk away
Feel the wind upon your face…

Take the time to carry on
Undeterred by right and wrong
You make the rules – this is your game

Take the time to work it out
Remember how it all began
How you went from strength to strength
How you fought to make amends
And how you will until the end

Take the time to feel alive
The world in which you live it will provide
All you need – the will to survive
You’ve got to open up your eyes and make the time

Take the time to start again
When all is lost along the way
Possessions only weigh you down, anyway

Take the time to rise above
A light that shines still after dusk
Hit the road and kick the dust
Leave your footprints in the earth
Live to fight another day

Take the time to feel alive
The world in which you live it will provide
All you need – the will to survive
You’ve got to open up your eyes and make the time

You must make the time my friend

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

Monument
by Majestic

supported by 6 fans who also own “Take the Time”

2 1/4 hrs long—Monumental indeed! I’ve played both versions of The Clover Suite back-to-back & think the redone more epic, more guitar-driven, & more embellished with effects. IMO, it sounds better now in it’s new, blended, conceptual home. There’s a lot of prog rock/metal to absorb here with lots of climactic solos & ‘drifting in space’ moments. Put your helmet on & ... 🚀... to where no man has gone before! This is truly an EPIC trip! Thank you, Majestic! 👏 9.5/10 👏 Alrihkh

Truths, Lies & Half Lies
by Mr So & So

supported by 6 fans who also own “Take the Time”

It appears I've arrived late to the Mr So & So party, for which I can only beg forgiveness, but after seeing 'The Dave' at a Steve Rothery gig last year I decided to check them out. Wow!!! 'Paperchase' blew me away with it's melodies, harmonies and genuine rock! Having now had a chance to digest the rest of this album it is now in danger of being worn out! I can hear snippets of Yes, Tori Amos and Van Halen in here, but the overall muse isn't any of them, it's Mr So & So, and it's great!!! Christopher Brammer
