Agon - TIME FLIES

T for tenacious
I for incessant
M for the motion
E for evanescent
Time waits for no one
And does not discriminate
Don't wait for time
Don't let the grass grow, under your feet, no-
Body can tell you what it is you really need, go
Get it yourself and water your seed, grow
Surrender to the moment, never to your ego
Try not to live inside your memories
And be specific in the ways you spend your energy
Will you be ready for the moment, boy, you better be
Do you bring beauty to the world or practice treachery
Don't count the seconds on the clock and don't be wasteful with your words
Use your intention when you talk, don't be absurd
And waste the moments that you have just getting high
Cause if you do this life will pass you by and brother
I can tell you that's the truth
I got a lot of thoughts and feelings bubbling inside of me
I think a lot about that person that I try so hard to be
I hope that I can make the changes in the world I wanna see
And hope I have enough T.I.M.E
Time never stops, never gives a damn
Time, watching ancient cities turn to the sand
Time never waits, it only carries on
Turning freezing nights into burning dawns
Time is the reason that we learn to rush
So many obligations and we're losing touch
We hunger for variety but deep inside we silently
Feel like it's all too much and we need more
When I was ten, I only cared for sports
I was always on the field or on the courts
When I was fifteen, I only cared for girls
I didn't understand the ways that love can change your world
When I was twenty, I was learning skills
Time to buckle down and get my belly filled
When I was thirty, I was on the move
I had the skill but had a lot to prove
When I was forty, I was building
Fulfilling my dreams, staying focused on my children
When I was fifty, so experienced
Learning not to be so serious
So many memories and challenges
Trying to find where the balance is
When I was sixty, I was getting wise
And all that I can say is, man, time flies
Time never stops, never gives a damn
Time, watching ancient cities turn to the sand
Time never waits, it only carries on
Turning freezing nights into burning dawns
Time is the reason that we learn to rush
So many obligations and we're losing touch
We hunger for variety but deep inside we silently
Feel like it's all too much and we need more
Do not add years to your life, add life to your years
Be grateful for tears, learn from fears
Remember that it fades away
Focus deeply every day
And cherish everything you hold dear
The past is a heavy weight
Learn to let it go, let it go before it gets too late
The future's on its way but it can wait
Try not to rush and just participate
In the moment, it's happening
You're standing exactly
In the only place that you could ever move forward from
So learn what you can, understand
That the tangible changes you make in this life
Are the sum of the efforts you put into action
And as they gain traction, they cause a reaction
And that's a miraculous fact of existence
So remain persistent and present because...
Time never stops, never gives a damn
Time, watching ancient cities turn to the sand
Time never waits, it only carries on
Turning freezing nights into burning dawns
Time is the reason that we learn to rush
So many obligations and we're losing touch
We hunger for variety but deep inside we silently
Feel like it's all too much and we need more
