Lyrics
It ain't about miles
ain't about age
ain't about how long it took
to reach this place
It ain't about fear
ain't about pride
ain't about all the stuff
you hold inside
It's about time
it's about us
it's about all the rest returning to dust
when push is about to come to shove
it' about time
it's about love
It ain't about fame
ain't about money
ain't about the claim you stake
in the land of mild and honey
ain't about words
ain't about vows
ain't about anything but what
you do right now
It's about time
it's about us
it's about all the rest returning to dust
when push is about to come to shove
it' about time
it's about love
when someone you know
is walking through the fire
don't wait to see which way the wind blows
your own good luck
may one day expire
and brother then you'll be the one who knows
It's about time
it's about us
it's about all the rest returning to dust
when push is about to come to shove
it' about time
it's about love
