[Intro]
You should believe me

[Verse 1]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
It's 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 saying
They tell me where to go

[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
You're like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
(Standing in a shaft of light)
Just like an angel
Rising up to paradise (Paradise)
I know I'm going to shine (Shine)
Yes (Shine)
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
It's gonna be just like they say
Them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way
And time sure passin' slow
Still I know I lead the way
They tell me where I go

[Chorus]
California (California)
A prophet on the burning shore
California (California)
I will be knocking on the golden door, knock, knock
You're like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
(Standing in a shaft of light)
Just like an angel (Like an angel)
Rising up to paradise (Paradise)
I know I'm going to shine (Shine)
Yes (Shine)

[Bridge]
You've all been asleep, you would not believe me (Wake up)
Them voices telling me, them voices
You will soon receive me (Receive me)
We are standing on the beach, the sea will part before me
Fire wheel burning in the air
(Fire wheel burning in the air)
Fire (Burning)
(Way up in the middle of the air)
You will follow me and we will ride to glory
(Way up in the middle of the air)
We will ride to glory, glory, glory
(Way up in the middle of the air)
Way up in the middle of the air
And I'll call down thunder on the rebel
And speak, speak the same
And my work fills the sky with flames, burning flames
And might and glory going to be my name
And men gonna light my way (Light my way)
Along the way (Light my way)
Light my way
[Verse 3]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
It's gonna be just like they say
Them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way
And time sure passin' slow

[Outro]
I am in no hurry, oh no no
I have nowhere to go
(Way up in the middle of the air)
(Way up in the middle of the air)
My time coming
(Way up in the middle of the air)
