No one ever turns his back on the sands of time They can feel it in the air Their life just doesn't rhyme Is it rhyme or reason No one knows the truth I'm the only one that knows And I can see it too... [Chorus]: Stop the sands of time (time) Stop the sands of time Who is that feeds the dream When you're fast asleep Who is it that wakes you When the nightmare appears I can see the flame If you hold it up in the air I can see the eye of the future It says to me to... [Chorus]: Stop the sands of time (time) Stop the sands of time Walking with the angels [Chorus]: Stop the sands of time (time) Stop the sands of time When you see the children cry Does it make you weep You should be at home yourself Lying fast asleep When you see the lightning flash That moves across the sky Do you sit for hours and hours Trying to wonder why [Chorus]: Stop the sands of time (time) Stop the sands of time
