[Verse 1]
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way now
But I'm in no hurry, no
Rainbows end down that highway
Where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, voices saying
And they tell me where I'll go

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry 'bout me
No, no, don't worry 'bout me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where I'll go

[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
I know I'm gonna shine
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry about me, no
It's going to be just like they say
Them voices tell me so
Been so long I felt this way now
But I'm in no hurry, no
'Cause I know I lead the way now
And they'll tell me where I go

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry 'bout me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where I'll go

[Chorus]
California
A prophet on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
I know I'm gonna shine
[Bridge]
You've all been asleep, you would not believe me (Ooh, ooh)
Them voices telling me you will soon receive me (Ooh, ooh)
Shine on the beach, sea will part before me
(Fire wheel burning in the air)
You will follow me and we will rise to glory
(Way up the middle of the air)
And I'll call down thunder and speak the same
And my work fills the sky with flame
And might and glory gonna be my name
And people will light my way

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry 'bout me, no
It's gonna be just like they say now
Them voices tell me so
This afternoon, streets turned gray now
And I watch the fire below
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry 'bout me, no

[Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where I'll go
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where I'll go
[Outro]
No, no, no, no (Ooh)
No, no, no, no (Ooh)
No, no, no, no, no (Ooh)
No, no, no, no, no, no (Ooh)
No, no, no (Ooh)
No, no, no, no (Ooh)
No, no, no, no, no, no (Ooh)
No, no, no, no (Ooh)
