Verse 1
Standing in line I’m looking around
As the sands of time slip on down
For a moment it seems, I looked away
Now I’ve slipped behind and there’s hell to pay
Everybody’s pushin’ tryin' to find a way
But there still no answers to games we play
Simple minds try to stay in time
With passions of greed they cross the line
Bridge
Time doesn’t change the way that I’m feelin’
It only finds a way to hide.
Time doesn’t have a real way of dealin’
It only keeps it locked inside.
Chorus
It’s all on the line we lay
If only to find a better way
If we could stop the hands of time
Until we find a better way
Verse 2
Steppin’ out we got nothin’ to hide
If we stay too long we’ll get swept aside.
We can change the pace and make up some time
Got to take a chance and lay it on the line
Everybody’s pushin’ afraid to fade away
Afraid to fall behind but still afraid to stay
We could take this chance we can change our mind
We could take this chance and lay it on the line.
Verse 3
Still standing in line still looking around
As the sands of time slip on down
We could turn around and leave it all behind
For a second chance we might never find
Everybody’s pushin’ trying to pull away
Still this life’s a game and we’ve got to play
If we find our way we can make a stand
We just stand our ground and make if we can
