[Verse 1: Donnie Dacus]
Oh, what a lucky day
Things are going my way
Sun is arising, mesmerizing everything I say
There's people all around this uptight town
Someone's going to recognize me

[Chorus 1: Donnie Dacus and Peter Cetera, Donnie Dacus]
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time? (Don't you know it's the time?)
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?

[Verse 2: Donnie Dacus, Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
Dues I've been paying for so long only making me stronger (Hey!)
Lady luck, won't you please come to me? I can't wait any longer
I spend all my time writing notes and rhyme (Ooh...)
Trying to find new dimensions

[Chorus 1: Donnie Dacus and Peter Cetera, Donnie Dacus]
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time? (Don't you know it's the time?)
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
[Chorus 2: Peter Cetera, Donnie Dacus, Both]
Time for moving on (Time for moving)
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay (What a lucky day)
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
Time for moving on (Time for moving)
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay (What a lucky day)
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar

[Verse 3: Donnie Dacus, (Bandmates)]
Competition everywhere is getting all of us down
I've been making all the rounds
I feel like a train on the wrong track
Don't get lost 'cause you might get caught (Ooh...)
Going out the wrong door now

[Chorus 1: Donnie Dacus and Peter Cetera, Donnie Dacus]
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time? (Don't you know it's the time?)
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time? (Yeah yeah)
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time? (Don't you know it's the time?)
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
Ain't it time?
[Chorus 2: Peter Cetera, Donnie Dacus, Both]
Time for moving on (Time for moving)
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay (What a lucky day)
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
Time for moving on (Time for moving)
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay (What a lucky day)
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
