Lyrics
Time
Few of us will dare to go the distance
Most of us would rather stand in line
Most of us would rather pay with boredom
Rather than risk minutes of lost time
But I am here to tell you that time is never lost
It is always counted up
Through summer sweat and winter frost
Chose your destination. Marry it within your heart.
Follow it around the world
'Til death will do you part
Men have fought too many wars
For temporary gain
Knowing that their souls would come to
Feel empty again
I have come upon you now to highjack history
If you want to save the world
Pick up your dreams and follow me 'cause
