Lyrics
Time is all we pass through
Reflecting on the passage of time as a universal experience
All the years I spent lookin for you
Years spent searching for something or someone
But now I'm here, if your feelin' the fear
Being present despite experiencing fear
And I feel it too
Acknowledging shared feelings of fear
All day long,
Time-consuming daily activities
And if it feels so right,
Questioning the morality of a situation
How could we ever be wrong
Expressing confidence in a choice
Selfish, your gambling, your singing your songs
Describing someone as self-centered, taking risks, and expressing through music
Oh life is so short but tradition so long
Life being short while traditions persist
Now if every rich man gave a little back to his home
Suggesting that if wealthy individuals contribute to their communities, positive change may occur
Maybe we'd see a change, maybe life would be long
Contemplating the potential impact of such contributions on life expectancy
But there's a lot to be proven wrong
Acknowledging skepticism and challenges to the idea
Time is slipping away
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of time
Accept it and you'll get it some day
Encouraging acceptance of time's passage
Everyone burns 'til they come of age
Highlighting the universal experience of facing challenges until maturity
And everyone learns a bit day by day
Stating the continuous process of learning
Oh my love, Oh my home
Expressing love and a sense of belonging
Well it ain't worth shit 'til your over it
Assigning value to experiences only after overcoming them
And it's running the gauntlet, it's sink or swim
Describing a challenging situation with a choice between success or failure
Sink or swim
Reiterating the stark choice of success or failure
Time is slipping away
Repeating the theme of time slipping away
Accept it and you'll get it some day
Encouraging acceptance as a means to attain goals in the future
Everyone burns 'til they come of age
Recalling the common experience of facing challenges until maturity
And everyone learns a bit day by day
Emphasizing the ongoing process of learning
Oh my love, Oh my home
Reiterating love and a sense of home
Well it ain't worth shit 'til your over it
Emphasizing the value of experiences after overcoming them
And it's running the gauntlet, it's sink or swim
Reiterating a challenging situation with a choice between success or failure
Sink or swim
Reiterating the stark choice of success or failure
