Changing the past,

Changing the future

Dreams of a better world,

No lies, no illusions

Time is a line

Of pictures unpainted

We are the colors

With which they are tainted

Alter our lives,

Make the right choices

A wish from within,

Hidden inside our voices

But how can we change

What's already written

Just how do we know

That it won't be repeated

CHORUS 1

Time is a gift,

Time is the essence

Time is a lie,

Time is a sentence

CHORUS 2

Time is the key,

Time is the essence

Time is a punishment,

Time is a sentence
