Ahead of Time

R-unning to you ahead of time
O-n the fifteenth of July; 
L-ooking for a chance to greet, 
A-fter the night passes by.
N-ew dawn breaks ahead of time, 
D-riving away the rain; 
O-pening the day with warmth, after the heartache and pain.

P-aths of steepest hill
A-re too tough to climb; 
N-ever though will I linger, 
I-'ll arrive ahead of
T-ime.
