Lyrics

"Can't you see"

Time is passing by so quickly.
Time is here and then it's gone.
Will we use our time in wisdom,
Or will we waste it till it's gone,
Never knowing those who love us?

Can't you see that I am waiting?
Don't you know I'm waiting still?
I am gazing past the darkness.
And I'm speaking softly to it.
And, I ask the question why, why..

Why am I still looking for you,
When I know you've gone away?
And the times we shared together,
Are but memories of my past lives,
And the time I have is (not our time)?

And,

We are the children of the future,
The future we will come to know.
And we choose the life we lead now,
And we lead the life we choose,
And the life we fill is time, time, time.

Time is passing by so quickly.
Time is here and then it's gone.
Will we use our time in wisdom,
Or will we waste it till it's gone,
Never knowing those who love us?

Will we pass our lives in sadness,
As our shadows grow to dark,
On the life we're living this time,
Will the promises go unfilled,
As the life light passes through this time?

Tell me,

Will we rest a peaceful night time?
Will we rest a peaceful night?
Will we rest a peaceful night time?
Will we rest a peaceful night?

Will we rest a peaceful night time?
Will we rest a peaceful night?

Fade?.
