GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME..
TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN....
CAUSE THE WINDS OF CHANGE HAVE COME...
AND I'VE BEEN ON THE RUN...TOO LONG MY FRIEND....

YEAH IT AIN'T EASY THESE DAYS...
TO STAND OUT STRONG....IN A LAND OF MANY...
BUT I'M DOIN' ALL I CAN...
TO GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE...ALONG THE WAY...YEAH, YEAH

Chorus:
AND WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF....
STANDING ON THE RIVERSIDE AGAIN
DON'T STARE AT IT TOO LONG.....
YOU JUST GOTTA RUN AND JUMP BACK IN
CAUSE YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN EVERYTHING...
THAT YOU WILL EVER NEED.....TO SWIM

I'VE USED UP MY EXCUSES...
ALONG THE WAY...SO WHY NOT JUST DO IT...
CAUSE LIFE, IT DON'T SLOW DOWN....
AND THEY DON'T HAND OUT CROWNS....FOR LAYIN' ROUND...NO, NO

I'M STEPPING BACK TO RUN AHEAD....
AND GET MY LONG JUMP IN.....
OUR TIME IS JUST TOO SHORT....
TO SPEND IT ON THE SHORES....OF LIFE... MY FRIEND

Chorus 2x and sing out with music to the end
