This world waits for no-one, years follow years,
Don't waste a lifetime on bitterness and tears,
Live each day completely as you walk the line,
And don't laugh in the face of Father Time.

There's two roads to travel, it's all left up to you,
The Great One left a solid choice the right or wrong to 
choose,
Live by His message, live by His code,
Take the 10 commandments as you go down that road,
Never flaunt your youth and always keep in mind,
Don't laugh in the face of Father Time.

[Instrumental]

Don't live for sorrow or what might have been,
Live for tomorrow will be your guiding beam,
The greatest things in life are free you'll surely find,
Don't laugh in the face of Father Time.

The road to destruction is paved with good intent,
Don't fool around or you might find a lifetime has been 
spent,
Do unto your neighbour as you'd have done to you,
Fill your heart with lovin' and love will come to you,
Remember this message always keep in mind,
Don't laugh in the face of Father Time.

No, don't laugh in the face of Father Time,
No, don't laugh in the face of Father Time.
