time stands still for no one

i'm behind again

i push and still i see

i'm getting nowhere quick

i'm staying late

again



worlds turn in the time

i catch another breath

i know a little more will

surely do the trick

i can't delay

no i can't be late



i can't take the time

but i plan to when i'm done

i can't waste the day

nothing ventured nothing

i don't think it's wise

to be idle when you're young

oh i have to go

i'll have time to live tomorrow



take a message for me

tell the wife i'm sorry

deadline's almost here

and there'll be more recitals

anyway there are bills to pay



i can't take the time

but i plan to when i'm done

i can't waste the day

nothing ventured nothing

i don't think it's wise

to be idle when you're young

oh i have to go

i'll have time to live tomorrow



i have to go



angels spread my wings

and see the fences tumble

ageless memories

they watch the strong man crumble at my feet

what is this i see



i can't take the time

but i plan to when i'm done

i can't waste the day

nothing ventured nothing

i don't think it's wise

to be idle when you're young

oh i have to go

i'll have time to live tomorrow



i have to go
