lyrics

If I’d have had this time before the world fell apart
Can you imagine all the things that I’d be good at
If I’d have been this free before the end times took their start
I might have stopped standing still to chew the fat
I could have taught myself to love
Reconciled blood and bone
I got time now
But my time ain’t my own

If I’d have known just how fragile what I had to hold was
Would I have worked any harder to fill the gaps?
If I’d have known how bad the damn was in need of shoring up
I think I would have stopped using that river to swim laps
I’d have found a friend or two
To pull the weeds before they’d grown
I got that time now
But my time ain’t my own

If I could see where were heading when we finally make it through
What excuses will I have that you’d believe
If we can understand that we decide what we can’t do
May there never be an end to what we achieve
For now I’ll put it through the pen
Dream of reaping what we’ll sow
I got that time
But my time ain’t my own
