Time is moving on, time will soon be gone
Time’s the one thing you can’t buy
Time for everything, time for anything
Don’t let this time pass you by

All those bridges burned, lessons never learned
All that ancient history
All that’s here is now and all that’s now is here
That’s all that there can ever be

It’s just a matter of time my friend
It’s just a matter of time

You know it’s up to you, just do what you can do
Trust your instincts don’t look back
It’s not about who wins, forgiveness of our sins
Lost in some race without a track

So listen to rain, hold that child again
Treat every moment as a gift
All this uncertainty, all this absurdity
Just let love give you the lift

It’s just a matter of time my friend
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time in the end
It’s just a matter of time

Turn the hourglass as the seasons pass
Count the bird that’s in your hand
Turn the hourglass as the seasons pass
Every day a grain of sand, every day a grain of sand

You can’t stop the clock but you can take stock
And see the beauty all around
Taking it all in, watching those hands spin
Before you know it you’re unwound

Did all those before in their last seconds soar
And laugh out loud to understand
While not quite a joke, you’ll chuckle as you choke
It was all so simple in the end
