time stands still for no one
i\'m behind again
i push and still i see
i\'m getting nowhere quick
i\'m staying late
again

worlds turn in the time
i catch another breath
i know a little more will
surely do the trick
i can\'t delay
no i can\'t be late

i can\'t take the time
but i plan to when i\'m done
i can\'t waste the day
nothing ventured nothing
i don\'t think it\'s wise
to be idle when you\'re young
oh i have to go
i\'ll have time to live tomorrow

take a message for me
tell the wife i\'m sorry
deadline\'s almost here
and there\'ll be more recitals
anyway there are bills to pay

i can\'t take the time
but i plan to when i\'m done
i can\'t waste the day
nothing ventured nothing
i don\'t think it\'s wise
to be idle when you\'re young
oh i have to go
i\'ll have time to live tomorrow

i have to go

angels spread my wings
and see the fences tumble
ageless memories
they watch the strong man crumble at my feet
what is this i see

i can\'t take the time
but i plan to when i\'m done
i can\'t waste the day
nothing ventured nothing
i don\'t think it\'s wise
to be idle when you\'re young
oh i have to go
i\'ll have time to live tomorrow

i have to go
