I WAS BORN AT THE BREAK OF DAWNING



IN THE LAST DAYS OF THE LAST GREAT WAR



MY FATHER WAS NOT IN THE FIGHTING



AND MY MOTHER NEVER HAD TO MOURN







I WAS RAISED, RAISED AND TAUGHT TO HURRY



I'VE BEEN HURRYING AND WORRYING ALL MY DAYS



BUT NOW AS I'M GETTING OLDER



I THINK I'M LEARNING HOW TO RUN THE RACE



AND WITH YOU BY MY SIDE, YOUR HEART CLOSE TO MINE,



I'VE GOT TIME







I USED TO WAKE UP EVERY MORNING



AND LIE THERE FAR TOO LONG



I HAD NO REASON FOR LIVING



EVERYTHING I DID WAS WRONG



WITH YOU, AND YOUR FAITH IN ME,



OH, HOW YOU MADE MY WHOLE LIFE SHINE



AND I'VE GOT TIME



YOU, AND YOUR FAITH IN ME,



LITTLE GIRL, YOU MADE MY WHOLE LIFE SHINE



AND I'VE GOT TIME
