"Lifetime" Lyrics

Minutes and hours keep on tickin' past
The moves you make today could be your last.
If you're still gambling with, what ain't yours,
If I were you I wouldn't feel that good.
Well it's the same thing everywhere I go
The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no

Do you think that I can't see through your veil
Well try to realize you feel your pain
You find it telling people, what's to gain?
Watch out that it won't blow up in your face
Well it's the same thing everywhere I go
The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no

Give what you can
Take what you need, after the harvest
You must plant a seed
Take what comes
Sunshine or rain don't waste your time
It won't come again

Ah, sisters brothers, friends and others, passing through my days
Give 'em time to remind, in so many ways
Just like a sparrow, not colorful nor beautiful
You can drown me in your song
Like the sun in the rain, oh yea
Minutes and hours they don't make up the time
That you spend from the day your born until you die
Your time is made up from the things that you do

Some people live a life well that's up to you
Well it's the same thing everywhere I go
The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no
