ThereÔÇÖs no time to kill between the cradle and the grave.
Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save.
Legal tenderÔÇÖs never gonna change the number of your days.
The highest cost of livinÔÇÖ is dying, thatÔÇÖs one everybody pays.
So have it spent before you get the bill, thereÔÇÖs no time to kill.
If weÔÇÖd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrowÔÇÖs yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone elseÔÇÖs game and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day.
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, thereÔÇÖs no time to kill.
If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, weÔÇÖd see just how they fly.
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had til we grow old.
And do we just keep killinÔÇÖ time until thereÔÇÖs no time to kill.
No time to kill, even IÔÇÖve said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ainÔÇÖt standinÔÇÖ still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry IÔÇÖve been in
And quit this work and worry lookinÔÇÖ back at where IÔÇÖve been.
If you donÔÇÖt look ahead nobody will, thereÔÇÖs no time to kill
