They say time is of the essence
They say time will always tell
I wasted time in constant panic
As the Rome around me fell
And each moment that is stolen
Gives another time to breathe
In a life of turning pages
With the bit between my teeth
From the cradle to the grave
I know I won't be a slave
To the mistakes that I made
With the passion and the pace
And I won't go 'til I'm ready
From the cradle to thе grave
They say time is a grеat healer
They say time will not stand still
When I look outside the window
I see a sky stuck to a hill
And the moon looks down behind me
Like it's seen it all before
For a thousand generations
That don't live here any more
From the cradle to the grave
They say time will wait for no man
They say time is on my side
I could never make my mind up
As it all goes whizzing by
From the cradle to the grave
