Father time used to dance through the night

With the ghosts of America's prime

He's still on our side with a family man's pride

In hopes we will rise once again



So hold us close sweet time

We'll rise once again

These years won't pass us by

So come alive my friends

So come alive my friends



An old man said "I'm alive til I'm dead"

So simple but I asked what he meant

He said life and love might be gifts from above

But our happiness comes from within

Life and love might be gifts from above

But our happiness comes from within



So hold us close sweet time

We'll dance once again

These years won't pass us by

So come alive my friends

So come alive my friends
