Walls once built to protect 
Can become a prison 
The shifting sands of time consume 
all in its path 
Hours to days, months to years 
Perpetual motion 
I hope you realize 
before it's gone

Now's the time 
To open your eyes 
Tomorrow may be too late 
You can never tell 
One second here 
Next second gone 
See how fast things change 
They change just like that 
See how fast things change 
They change just like that 
See how they change 
Just like that

When you stop and think 
About the grand scheme 
We're merely seconds 
in the clock that's time 
Sometimes it's hard to see 
Just what you've got 
I hope you realize 
before it's gone

Now's the time 
To open your eyes 
Tomorrow may be too late 
You can never tell 
One second here 
Next second gone 
See how fast things change 
They change just like that 
See how fast things change 
They change just like that 
See how they change 
Just like that

When you stop and think 
About the grand scheme 
We're merely seconds 
in the clock that's time 
Sometimes it's hard to see 
Just what you've got 
I hope you realize 
before it's gone

Now's the time 
To open your eyes 
Tomorrow may be too late 
You can never tell 
One second here 
Next second gone 
See how fast things change 
They change just like that 
See how fast things change 
They change just like that 
See how they change 
Just like that
