Hourglass

I remember when we were young When everything had just begun Our hopes were in the sky, our heads held high I remember first feeling alive in the heat of a summer night Our hearts were racing; our minds were chasing them Don't waste it, don't let it slip by Don't waste it, don't let it slip by We're running out of time I remember when life was new and love was pure and true Our faith was sure and strong, and we knew that we belonged The colors we could see, just ahead and through the trees, Had yet to be named; our future was unclaimed Don't waste it, don't let it slip by Don't waste it, don't let it slip by We're running out of time I remember when we were free, watching fireflies in the trees Our sights were on the sky and we knew that we'd never die I remember when we believed Calling out from on our knees Never doubting we'd survive We were glad just to be alive Don't waste it, don't let it slip by Don't waste it, don't let it slip by Don't waste it, don't let it slip by Don't waste it, don't let it slip by We're running out of time
