What Time?


There was a time when news was good news
And life was easy -- we had time to make our pettiest dreams come true.
Now the days so swiftly pass away
The walls close in -- we have t\no strength with which to slow the days.

What time have we, we waste our lives
Looking forward for the next turn
We neglect the now
What time do we deserve?

I've found a way to share the time that would be spent in vain
A certain end to sorrow -- we've nothing but to gain.
The love that we can share, a love that's everywhere
A productive means to an end -- and experiment that should be dared.

The days of course still swiftly pass away
But loss of time will never again stand in our way.

What time have we, we waste our lives
Looking forward for the next turn
We neglect the now
What time do we deserve?
