Time Is Slipping Away · letra

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
