"Hey... Hey...I'm sitting in the cell of this hourglass
My time slips away, stolen too fast
Everyday, everyday I'm breathing it in
The pressure of my life, the pressure within

Saying working hard is all I know
But the weight of this sand is making me slow
If I think of all the time I've lost
Then the taxman won and I pay the cost

Give me time, give me time
'Cause I'm stuck in this world's hourglass
Give me time, give me time
This sand is flowing too fast
Hey... Hey...

I'm sitting as the world around me is calling my name
Every single second, attacking my brain
Give me time, she says with a wink in her eye
All I want is your youth; that old spark inside.
Then wisdom says, Cherish your days
Worry only lets your time slip away
Push away the thief trying to steal your gift
The fighter is the one whose feet are swift.

Give me time, give me time
'Cause I'm stuck in this world's hourglass
Give me time, give me time
This sand is flowing too fast"
