Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

The morning that the world began
God reached out and closed his hand
And when it opened up again
A moment vanished in the wind

Since that day it's never stopped
No matter how you wind the clock
And untold billions lived and died
Time was never on their side

Seasons come and seasons go
Sunrise, sunset, rain and snow
Every time the world turns round
Brand new shiny day is found

We pray to whom we fear the most
The Father, Son, the Holy Ghost
Take whatever fate provides
Time is never on our side

Sometimes an hour hurdles by
Sometimes an instant never dies
Some days crawl and others fly
Hey, and ours is not to reason why

Getting older, then hesitating
Hear good things come to those that wait
Who ever told you that one lied
Time is never on our side

Time is never on our side
