Minutes and hours keep on tickin' past The moves you make today could be your last. If you're still gambling with, what ain't yours, If I were you I wouldn't feel that good. Well it's the same thing everywhere I go The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no Do you think that I can't see through your veil Well try to realize you feel your pain You find it telling people, what's to gain? Watch out that it won't blow up in your face Well it's the same thing everywhere I go The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no Give what you can Take what you need, after the harvest You must plant a seed Take what comes Sunshine or rain don't waste your time It won't come again Ah, sisters brothers, friends and others, pa**ing through my days Give 'em time to remind, in so many ways Just like a sparrow, not colorful nor beautiful You can drown me in your song Like the sun in the rain, oh yea Minutes and hours they don't make up the time That you spend from the day your born until you die Your time is made up from the things that you do Some people live a life well that's up to you Well it's the same thing everywhere I go The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no
