Slave to Time

When the days of life are thinning

And the world is past its prime

Look around see how you're living

Do not be a slave to time

Oh my father, oh my father, do not be a slave to time

Oh my father, oh my father, do not be a slave to time

When the land becomes the ocean

And the stars forbear to shine

Do not say we had no notion

Do not say we had no sign

Oh my mother, oh my mother, do not be a slave to time

Oh my mother, oh my mother, do not be a slave to time

Do not say we had no notion

Do not say our eyes were blind

We ignored all the commotion

It was poison of the mind

Oh my brethren, oh my brethren, do not be slaves to time

Oh my brethren, oh my brethren, do not be slaves to time

Now the Western Sun is sinking

On the cold horizon line

Do not ask what we were thinking

Do not be a slave to time

Oh my children, oh my children, do not be slaves to time

Oh my children, oh my children, do not be slaves to time
