[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, 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 I'll go

[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
Yeah, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
And I know I'm gonna shine (Shine)
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
And now time sure passing slow
This afternoon, streets turned gray
And I watched the cars below
Still I know I lead the way
'Cause I know where to 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
A prophet on the burning shore
California
Yeah, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
And I know I'm gonna shine (Shine)
[Bridge]
Now, you've all been asleep, you would not believe me (Ooh, ooh)
But them voices telling me you will soon 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 to glory
(Way up the middle of the air)
And I'll call down thunder and speak the same
My work fills the sky with flame
Might and glory gonna be my name, my name
They gonna light my way, yeah, hey now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
And now time sure passing slow
Been so long I felt this way
But I'm in no hurry, no
'Cause I know I lead the way
'Cause I know where to go

[Outro]
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, don't worry about me, no
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, don't worry about me, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
Don't worry about me, no
Don't worry about me, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, 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
