[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
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Gonna be just like they say
I ain't in no hurry, no
Voices tell me what to say
Tell me what to know
And 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 where to go

[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
He 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
[Bridge]
You've all been asleep, you would not believe me (Ooh, ooh)
The voices telling me sol say you will 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, 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
They gonna light my way, hey, hey

[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 turn gray
As I watch the cars below
Yes, I know I lead the way
Them voices tell me so

[Outro]
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
So don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
'Cause I know where to go
I know where to go
Said I know where to go
Said I know where to go
Said I know where to go
No, no, the world oughta know
Said no, no, world oughta know
No, no, the world oughta know, know
World oughta know
No, no, the world oughta know, know, ooh-ooh
Woo, ha, ha, woo-hoo
World oughta know, know, know, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey, hey, hey-hey, hey-hey
[Instrumental]
