Give me time to reason, Give me time to think it through Passing through the season, Where I cheated you I will always have a cross to wear, But the bolt reminds me I was there So give me strength, To face this test tonight If only I could turn back time, If only I had said what I still hide If only I could turn back time, I would stay for the night, for the night Claim your right to science, Claim your right to see the truth Though my pangs of conscience, Will drill a hole in you I've seen it coming like a thief in the night, I've seen it coming from the flesh of your light So give me strength, To face this test tonight If only I could turn back time, If only I had said what I still hide If only I could turn back time, I would stay. The bolt reminds me I was there The bolt reminds me I was there
