Running on Time

Look in the eye of a brand new morning

Look in the face of another new day

Look at the line where the sun is forming

Look at the place where the evening makes way

Look at the way that the light is stretching

Over the Earth like a blanket of gold

Every day it's another lesson

Learning the way that a life can unfold

And it's running on time

Running on time

Running on time

Running on time

Running on time

It's running on time

How many times have the seasons shifted?

How many tides ever tumbled to shore?

How many times has the sunlight lifted

Everything out of the darkness before?

How many minutes since the moment

Somebody started keeping the score?

If I could rewind and hold it

I'd probably want just a little bit more

But it's running on time

Running on time

Running on time

Running on time

Running on time

It's running on time

Heaven and Earth haven't always been here

Even the dirt's gotta go to its grave

I can't lose or win here

I know what's coming one day

So while my time is spent here

I'll cherish the love that wanders my way

'Cause it's running on time

Running on time

Running on time

Running on time

Running on time

It's running on time
