Poverty's No Crime - Seconds lyrics

You waste your minutes Knowing it's time from your life The time is your guidance Leads you away from the child And it will be with you anywhere Looking back into the past Shows me the days I was wrong Even moments of pleasure Were taken away by the hands of time But there always arose a new day for me I can't deny... Time after time we return Out of darkness into light Day by day people astray They're watching how the world sheds a tear We are dancing on a tight-rope Sowing the seeds of a venomous game But there's not even time For a little handshake I know that we can't go on as we want Even earth has changed it's way around the sun But the seconds still run Soon they will be lost forever Time, what have you done to me? You slow down this turning wheel I know the years are getting colder now Trying to get the speed again You slow down this turning wheel And a mountain you throw in my way There's a place I've never seen Lend me some time from your life It seems to be an acceptable A lot of your dreams won't come true to you As sure as this game will go on and on I can't deny... Night after night we're used to the hope That the morning brings us gold...
