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 / Because 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 / I was trying to be what was 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 man.
