Lyrics

If this timepiece could transport me
Back to when things used to be
I would correct the first event
That set off every catastrophe

Then my days would be free
I could help those around me
Every color would be there to see
Friends and lovers wouldn't disagree

If this timepiece could carry me
Back to when I danced with glee
I would replace those brutal dates
With perfect moments and memories

Then my world would open up
I could feel that I'm enough
And my heart would beat like a drum
I'd be proud of where I came from

Take me back in time
I've gotta stop that crime
That swept me out to sea
And forever changed me

Take me back in time
I'm gonna stop that crime
That built my life a dam
That made me who I am

But if I failed, I would travel back
To years before I was born
I would reach out with both my arms
Remove every trace of scorn

And when I arrived
I'd watch over myself
They'd reap and sow, their love would grow
And with some patience, in time they'd know

Take me back in time
I've gotta stop that crime
That swept me out to sea
And forever changed me

Take me back in time
I'm gonna stop that crime
That built my life a dam
That made me who I am

Take me back in time
I've gotta stop that crime
That swept me out to sea
And forever changed me

Take me back in time
I'm gonna stop that crime
That built my life a dam
That made me who I am
