A good friend left the game of life
Turn back the clock, what would you say?

Life hangs by a thread
Make sure you leave your mark
Now is the only time you own
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link
If you've thrown away a day
Don't cry when you run out of time

Now is the time you hold
Live for love, get your fill
Place no faith in tomorrow
Your clock may then be still

How you play is how you pay
One step away from the edge of a fall
A life cut short, slipped away
I'd say he ran out of time

Running out of time
Running out of time

You've got to live for the love of life
Stick to the side that is winning
Say just what is on your mind, or you'll be

Running out of time
Running out of time

The hands of time turn once
No one has the power
To tell when their time will end
Could be late of early hour
Don't cast your dreams to the wind
Today's only yesterday's tomorrow
