I'm taking pictures of my friends from the shore

I got a song for you that I think you'd like

We got a ways to go and we'll never run out of time
There's a long journey ahead, but time is abundant.
We'll never run out of time

So slow down

We'll run around and we'll dance

And we're moving to that sound
