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
