Time Waits For No One

V1
I'm standing on a mountain looking out across the big wide open sea
I'm thinking of the place I've been and dreaming of the place I want to be
I've found myself in music it's the anchor at my weary well worn feet
I've found the greatest gift of all I've found my inner peace

Chorus 1
I've been at war for far too long it's time to make a hasty retreat
After all these years of fighting I hope to make it home in one piece

V2
I'm running through a meadow with the warm breeze blowing through my hair
I'm thinking of the future I wonder will I ever see you there
I'm living with my music I'll sing whatever's in my head
I'll say the things I want to say and leave the things best left unsaid

Chorus 2
I've been at war for far too long it's time to make a hasty retreat
After all these years of fighting I hope to make it home in one piece
Life is out there waiting
Live it while you can
No point in hesitating if you understand
This is no rehearsal
Your future's in your hands
Time waits for no one

V3
I'm running through a city with the bright lights glowing in my head
I'm thinking of what might have been and dreaming of what lies ahead
I've lost myself in music I'll let it save my soul
So I'll go on and sing my song and take the yellow brick road

Chorus 3
I've been at war for far too long it's time to make a hasty retreat
After all these years of fighting I hope to make it home in one piece
Life is out there waiting
Live it while you can
No point in hesitating if you understand
This is no rehearsal
Your future's in your hands
Time waits for no one
