On the day you came into this world
That day was all the time in the world
Day one, a whole span of a life
And only one sun had ever set on a night
Because we had no memories
At least none that I can see
We come here with a dream
A little time is all we need
[Verse 2]
And on the day we turn twenty-one
We're now seven thousand, six hundred setting suns
And each day seems to get brighter and better
And at that agе, I thought I'd live forever
Bеcause I was young, mhm
And I was having all the fun for me
Chasing my dreams
It was a time for living free
[Verse 3]
And on the day I turn forty-two
I start thinking about all I still wanna do
I've had thousands of hours and chances to do them
Do dreams disappear if I don't get to them today?
Are these my best days?
Or am I only halfway to living my dreams?
Time, be kind to me
[Refrain]
Yeah, a little time is all I need
[Verse 4]
And if there's a day I turn sixty-five
Will I be cashing it in?
Will I finally retire and be who I'm supposed to be
Or will I have to keep working to make my ends meet
With my aches and my pains to deal with
I lost friends and I never found Jesus
Thank God I still have my dream
Time is all I need
[Refrain]
Yeah, a little time is all I need
[Verse 5]
And if there's a day we get to turn one hundred and one
That'll be more than thirty-six thousand rising suns
And I'll rise if I can and I'll dance my old dance
I imagine I'll probably hike up my pants
'Cause I've learned how death's always there at our ankles
Teasing us, teaching us how to be grateful
'Cause days are now about how well we live them
How much we've loved and how much we've given away
Before we're history
A day is now a century
And I'm ready to dream a new dream
A little time is all I need
[Outro]
Time is all I need
Yeah, a little time is all I need
Time is all I need
Yeah, a little time is all I need
Time is all I need
A little time is all I need
Time is all I need
A little time is all I need
