lyrics

[Verse 1]
A man walks on the beach
He stops to think, closes his eyes
Waves touch his feet, his well worn feet
At sixty years walked many miles

[Pre Chorus]
And as I watch I try to read his mind
How many days does he have left to live this life?

[Chorus]
Time, what is time to us?
You could live for twenty years
Fighting without a cause
Time, it's simple enough
These years that we have
Could become a lifetime for us
In time

[Verse 2]
The minutes pass, another man
Lost in thought and walking by
Waves touch his feet, his well worn feet
At sixteen years walked many miles

[Pre Chorus]
And as I watch I try to read his mind
How many days does he wake up from sleepless nights?

[Bridge]
And when the storms come
The crashing waves come
You might get thrown around
So find a place now
Something to hold on
So you won't drown
And I was there once

I felt the waves come
And I got thrown around
But I know now 
I found a place to stand
My constant, my solid ground

[Chorus]
Time, what is time to us?
You could live for twenty years
Fighting without a cause
Time, it's simple enough
These years that we have
Could become a lifetime for us
In time
It's simple enough
We're all running out of time
But we still have a pulse
And time is all we have
So don't waste your given hours
Don't waste yourself
