The children of light know there is more after this life,
Yet they squander their time on things that won't last through the night.
Who are wiser? The children of this world.
Who are wiser? The children of this world.

They know they'll grow old, they know they will need to earn gold.
So they work and they plan so they can keep their homes.
The children of light know there is more after this life,
Yet they squander their time on things that won't last through the night.

Time, time, time, don't waste your time Time, time, time, don't waste your time Time, time, time, don't waste your time Time, time, time

Things on this earth can be deceiving.
They even capture the hearts of the believing.
They take our precious time, they dazzle our minds.
Yet these earthly things won't make it through the great night.

Time, time, time, don't waste your time Time, time, time, don't waste your time
Time, time, time, don't waste your time Time, time, time

Have you prepared, oh, children of light?
Or have you been dancing all through your lives?
Yes, it's fine to have fun, just know what you'll have when the music's done!

Time - don't waste it. Time - don't waste it.
Time. Time. Time. Time.
