Little Time

(album: Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride - 2023)

On the day you came into this world
That day was all the time in the world
Day one, a whole span of a life
And only one sun had ever set on a night
Because we had no memories
At least none that I can see
We come here with a dream
A little time is all we need

And on the day we turn 21
We're now 7600 setting suns
And each day seems to get brighter and better
And at that age I thought I'd live forever
Because I was young and I was having all the fun for me
Chasing my dreams
It was a time for living free

Then on the day I turn 42
I start thinking about all I still wanna do
I've had thousands of hours and chances to do them
Do dreams disappear if I don't get to them today?
Are these my best days?
Or am I only halfway to living my dreams?
Time be kind to me

Yeah, a little time is all I need

And if there's a day I turn 65
Will I be cashing it in?
Will I finally retire and be who I'm supposed to be
Or will I have to keep working to make my ends meet
With my aches and my pains to deal with
I lost friends and I never found Jesus
Thank God I still have my dream
Time is all I need

Yeah, a little time is all I need

And if there's a day we get to turn 101
That'll be more than 36000 rising suns
And I'll rise if I can and I'll dance my old dance
I imagine I'll probably hike up my pants
Cause I've learned how death's always there at our ankles
Teasing us, teaching us how to be grateful
Cause days are now about how well we live them
How much we've loved and how much we've given away
Before we're history
A day is now a century
And I'm ready to dream a new dream
A little time is all I need

Time is all I need
Yeah, a little time is all I need
Time is all I need
Yeah, a little time is all I need
Time is all I need
A little time is all I need
Time is all I need
A little time is all I need
