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 Tui!
