The time is slipping and running away
All the hours in procession
Lining up day by day
What you thought you could never hold in your hand
You find now as simple as a grain of sand

You have got to wake up, now
You have got to shake the dust from your eyes
And narrow down the space between
Your desires and your deeds

The time is rolling and stretching along
And the past is singing and calling your name
Tomorrow's overtaken by yesterday
And what's left is exceeded by what's already been

You have got to wake up, now
You have got to find your own voice
And narrow down the space between
What you have and what you need

Stand in the light
And feel the wind on your face
Stretch out your arms
And you will rise up into the air

You have got to wake up, now
You have got to find realise
That no matter what is said
You have the right to be
