Do you know the time my friend?
I don't understand the hands
They only turn when I'm not looking

Keep searching around this place
Reaching for someone so I can relate
We don't know when the clock stops turning

Oh father of time
Speaking wisdom into my mind
Tell me stories of all that are great
Cherish these days before it’s too late

If you could turn the hands yourself
Would you hold on to your wealth?
Would you change what you had done?
Or just move on and accept what we've become?

We're destined to be who we are
Never doubt what's in the stars
Life's a game and we all choose to play

Oh father of time
Speaking wisdom into my mind
Tell me stories of all that are great
Cherish these days before it’s too late

If you could turn the hands yourself
Would you hold on to your wealth?
Would you change what you had done?
Or just move on and accept what we've become?

If you could turn the hands yourself
Would you hold on to your wealth?
Would you change everything that you'd done?
Or just move on and accept what we've become?
