so today's the day you'll seize
or maybe tomorrow you'll find
a new plan for world domination
and you'll make a choice or two
and you'll watch the pieces fall
and you'll take a great picture
of the place that they land
cause time keeps on slipping away
by the minute away by the second
and we're not getting any younger
i feel uncertain that in this brief moment
i'll have enough time to change
and if i was the sweetest
and if i was the kindest
and if i was the smartest
and if i was always strong
could i survive independent
be alive in every minute
turn my back on some love
just to prove myself wrong
'cause time keeps on slipping away
by the minute away by the second
and we're not getting any younger
i feel uncertain that in this brief moment
i've got enough time to change the world
and make it better
and if your joys can't lift you
and your sorrows can't lift you
and your hands can't lift you out of the dark
well take some strange consolation
in the struggles that surround you
you're not alone
you're not alone
you just fear that you are
cause time keeps on slipping away
by the minute away by the second
and we're not getting any younger
i feel uncertain that in this brief moment
i've got enough time to change
i'll take some strange consolation
in the struggles that surround me
i'm not alone i'm not alone
i just fear that i am
