Cradle To The Grave

They say time is of the essence

They say time will always tell

I wasted time in constant panic

As the Rome around me fell

And each moment that is stolen

Gives another time to breathe

In a life of turning pages

With the bit between my teeth

From the cradle to the grave

I know I won't be a slave

To the mistakes that I made

With the passion and the pace

And I won't go til I'm ready

From the cradle to the grave

They say time is a great healer

They say time will not stand still

When I look outside the window

I see a sky stuck to a hill

And the moon looks down behind me

Like it's seen it all before

For a thousand generations

That don't live here any more

From the cradle to the grave

I know I won't be a slave

To the mistakes that I made

With the passion and the pace

And I won't go til I'm ready

From the cradle to the grave

They say time will wait for no man

They say time is on my side

I could never make my mind up

As it all goes whizzing by

From the cradle to the grave

I know I won't be a slave

To the mistakes that I made

With the passion and the pace

And I won't go til I'm ready

And I won't go til I'm ready

No I won't go til I'm ready

From the cradle to the grave

I know I won't be a slave

To the mistakes that I made

And I won't go til I'm ready

From the cradle to the grave
