The Word

(album: The Eleventh Hour - 1983)

Wait, here's a word or two
To you who are passing through
Time is on your side
Though some may be denied

Just waiting, standing around
The time will come for everyone
Still waiting, soon to be found
The light inside of everyone

Nobody said that it was easy
You know it ain't easy
Making your way all by yourself
But you take what you've got
Though it don't seem a lot
And you give it the best that you can

Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day
Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day

Though we must carry on
In time we will think upon
All those peaceful nights
When everything went right

Just waiting, standing around
The time will come for everyone
Still waiting, soon to be found
The light inside of everyone

Nobody said that it was easy
You know it ain't easy
Making your way all by yourself
You know it ain't easy
But you take what you've got
Though it don't seem a lot
And you give it the best that you can

Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day
Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day

Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day
Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day

Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day
Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day
