can become a prison
the shifting sands of time consume
all in it's path
hours to days, months to years
perpetual motion
I hope you realize
before it's gone

now's the time
to open your eyes
tomorrow may be too late
you can never tell
one second here
next second gone
see how fast things change
they change just like that
see how fast things change
they change just like that
see how they change
just like that

when you stop and think
about the grand scheme
we're merely seconds
in the clock that's time
sometimes it's hard to see
just what you've got
I hope you realize
before it's gone

now's the time
to open your eyes
tomorrow may be too late
you can never tell
one second here
next second gone
see how fast things change
they change just like that
see how fast things change
they change just like that
see how they change
just like that

when you stop and think
about the grand scheme
we're merely seconds
in the clock that's time
sometimes it's hard to see
just what you've got
I hope you realize
before it's gone

now's the time
to open your eyes
tomorrow may be too late
you can never tell
one second here
next second gone
see how fast things change
they change just like that
see how fast things change
they change just like that
see how they change
just like that
