This song isn't actually that forced, it sounds a lot less "forced" when sung my LaBrie. the best performance of thi is on Live At Budokan where its an amazing song.
As for the lyrics, they are about how Dream Theater fought and coped to eventually become successful(which at the time they were not very successful).
Its about all that they were promised:
A suited man smiled said:
"It's just a matter of time
You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow
just sign on this line."
And about their journey. Hence the metaphor of the ship at sea.
And how they said that theyve come so far that its "only a matter of time" before theyre famous.
