Today you may be young and free
|
But tomorrow's never guaranteed
|
What's seventy years
|
Compared to eternity
|
|
You say nobody's gonna run your life
|
But you could lose it any day or night
|
Where will you be
|
When they turn out the light
|
|
Look at me
|
Look at someone who struggled
|
Someone who struggled for years
|
Look at me
|
Look at someone who struggled
|
Are you gonna waste the same tears
|
|
Time is slipping away
|
This could be your last day
|
Time is slipping away
|
|
You tell me that you don't got time
|
And then you work and slave for every dime
|
Just to get things
|
You know that you'll one day either lose
|
Or leave behind
|
|
You say you don't believe in fairy tales
|
But you keep looking for some holy grail
|
The cup that you need
|
Is made out of thorns and nails
|
|
Look at me
|
Look at someone with something
|
Someone with something that's real
|
You tell me
|
Are you someone with something you know
|
Or something you feel
|
|
Time is slipping away
|
Heaven's holding open its gates
|
Don't hold back because you're afraid
|
Someone's helping you
|
Someone's holding your hand today
|
What's gonna stand in your way
|
