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

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know where to go

[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
Knock, knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
You know I'm gonna shine (Shine), shine
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Gonna be just like they say
I know, I know, I know
Gonna be just like they say
Them voices tell me so
Oh, I know I lead the way
Them voices tell me so

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know, I know, I know, I know

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
I ain't in no hurry, no
This afternoon, streets turned gray
And I watch the cars below
Still I know I lead the way
Them voices tell me so

[Outro]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know where to go
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know, hey
Don't worry about me, no
No, hey, don't worry about me, no
I said no, no, hey, don't worry about me
Them voices tell me what to say
They tell me where I'll go
Say I lead the way
'Cause I know where to go, 'cause I know where to go
I know where to go
No, no, don't worry about me, no
No, no, no
No, no, don't worry about me, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, don't worry about me, no
No, no, hey
No, no, don't worry about me, no
No, no, hey
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
