A Poem at First

My mother, Linda Didner, wrote this poem, which I then edited into song lyrics as verses. I then added the chorus and bridge.

This song is my mom’s idea of a sequel to my 2003 song “It’s About Time.” The premise is that she applied the lessons of the original song and wanted to say that she went about the changes that the changing times called for.

“It’s About Time” – Jason Didner’s 2003 song that inspired “When the Time Came”

Mom and I have co-written songs as gifts for family members before, but this is our first one to be released publicly.

I sang all the vocal parts and played all the instruments.

Here are the lyrics:

When the Time Came
(c) 2022, Lyrics by Linda Didner and Jason Didner
Music by Jason Didner

I've broken a cycle
May it never return
It took long and hard looks
To finally learn

Now I know what it takes
To be peaceful and strong
To be happy and loving,
My whole life long

When the time came
I let my feelings be
When the time came
I set my spirit free
Extinguished the anger
And put down the blame
I did what it takes
When the time came

I've gone through some changes
They were worth the pain
I shouldered the heartache
But so much was gained

I journeyed so deeply
So deeply inside
I read that old screenplay
That played in my mind

When the time came
I let my feelings be
When the time came
I set my spirit free
Extinguished the anger
And put down the blame
I did what it takes
When the time came

Sure I was scared
of how I might change
Still nothing's more frightening
than staying the same

When the time came
I let my feelings be
When the time came
I set my spirit free
Extinguished the anger
And put down the blame
I did what it takes
When the time came
When the time came
And may I do it again
