lyrics
Verse:
He said, “Son, you need to get up get out get something,
You know why? Cause if you don’t somebody’s gon take it
There are no shortcuts to be traveled on,
There are no fallbacks, so travel on
He said, “Fight, fight till you can’t fight no more,
And work, work till there’s nothing left in store”
Show love,
It’s the only thing we’ll always have,
In this life,
Father time, taught me right
Chorus:
Time don’t stand still, life don’t wait,
Every single seconds just ticking away (4x)
Verse
I would not trade my life for gold,
No money’s gonna buy my soul,
(Instrumental)
Verse
And when you’re gone, I’m still here,
I pray your wise words never disappear,
When I’m old, and grey haired,
I pray your wise words never disappear
When you’re gone, and I’m still here,
I pray they see your face in my face clear,
Chorus
Time don’t stand still, life don’t wait,
Every single seconds just ticking away (4x)
