There are so many songs about time, ticking away,
Time is on my side but still it waits for no one. 
Time is not your friend, not a friend to anyone.
Time is not on your side. Foolish Pride.
It’s here to make you run.
The sun is going to chase you every single day
into the darkness, where you may feel safe.
Then it comes back again tearing up the night 
with the burning light exposing all your life.
You will never get away
as it chases you through each burning day,
and soon you’ll lose track of all time.
One night in the darkness
you might see where your life has gone
and you know the sun is a coming
but your just too tired to run.

I remember waiting for the sunrise,
so many times we sat up all night.
Every sunrise a miracle as it burst into our eyes.
Its ticking down the moments that remain in our small lives,
but I cannot hate the sun the way a dead man hates the gun.
It has given me the warmth I needed
and filled my darkness with the light.

So I spent the day thinking about the tracks of time
n the ones who brought me to life.
Yes they had it tough, they had it bad.
They had good times and they had the sad.
A child always faces a world more complex
than the simple lives that brought you to be.
We did not see it before they were gone
nor the fights they had won that brought us along
through the pain and the changes
that lead us here down through the ages,
where generations have passed through the portal of time.
The young ones get set at the starting line.
