Listen to me boy

The future's bright

What they say is true

But don't lose sight

Time won't wait for you

Can't let the hands of time

Slip right through these hands of mine

I was once young and bright eyed just like you

Scared to step into the world because everything was new

And then I woke up

Opened my eyes

Came to the realization that everything must die

'Cause time waits

Time waits for no man

Time waits for no man

Old man you've got to wake up

In the blink of an eye, your life's passed you by

What's left to show?

The future is uncertain and you're dying slow

Can't let this life you live slip right through your finger tips

'Cause I was once young and bright eyed just like you

Scared to step into the world because everything was new

And then I woke up

Opened my eyes

Came to the realization that everything must die

Time waits

Time waits for no man

Time waits for no man

Time waits for no man, go!

I was trying to be what's expected of me

When the ground fell out from under my feet

I've got to do my own thing

Live my life for me

Why can't you understand?

Time waits for no -
