Slave to Time

When the days of life are thinning And the world is past its prime Look around see how you're living Do not be a slave to time Oh my father, oh my father, do not be a slave to time Oh my father, oh my father, do not be a slave to time When the land becomes the ocean And the stars forbear to shine Do not say we had no notion Do not say we had no sign Oh my mother, oh my mother, do not be a slave to time Oh my mother, oh my mother, do not be a slave to time Do not say we had no notion Do not say our eyes were blind We ignored all the commotion It was poison of the mind Oh my brethren, oh my brethren, do not be slaves to time Oh my brethren, oh my brethren, do not be slaves to time Now the Western Sun is sinking On the cold horizon line Do not ask what we were thinking Do not be a slave to time Oh my children, oh my children, do not be slaves to time Oh my children, oh my children, do not be slaves to time
