Lyrics
Time
You were born in to the rhythm Marinated by the sound Of a billion voices On the merry-go-round
There's too much information To know that love is free It comes in every color So go make a masterpiece
Time, oh, time Feels like she keeps passing you by You gotta take some time, sometimes To know that she's been right by your sides
Sing it Feel it Hold it (Moan it (Dream it Touch it Sing it
'Cause everything is right on time Don't you know you'll never know why Time...
What's inside your picture And who you gonna save The preacher's in your backyard Who's digging your grave Maybe there's a reason An invitation to the show
Keep some karma in your corner And pick your poison to the toast
Time, oh, time Feels like she keeps passing you by You gotta take some time, sometimes To know that she's been right by your sides
Sing it Feel it Hold it Moan it Dream it Touch it Sing it
'Cause everything is right on time Don't you know you'll never know why Time...
Feel it Alright Dream it Hold it Moan it Oh yeah!
Time, oh, time... Feels like she keeps passing you by You gotta take some time, sometimes To know that she's been right by your sides
Sing it Feel it Hold it Moan it Dream it Touch it Sing it
'Cause everything is right on time Don't you know you'll never know why Time...
Time, oh, time... Feels like she keeps passing you by You gotta take some time, sometimes To know that she's been right by your sides (Yeah!)
Sing it Feel it Hold it Moan it Dream it Touch it Sing it
