===============================
One day I met an old man,
who seemed he didn't care.
His hair was long and dirty,
his clothes not fit to wear.
My first thought was to pass him,
and ignore his lonely plight.
But a feeling spawned within me,
and I asked him so polite.
What got you in this mess, sir,
as I went on to say?
Do you really have good reasons,
for ending up this way?
I'd sure like to explain it,
it shouldn't take much time.
Cause it's not the way I planned it,
as he laid it on the line.
[No one counts the seconds,
they quickly tick away.
Yet they turn into the minutes,
you took for me today.
And the hours fill the day time,
and the months just roll away.
And the years into a lifetime,
and here I am today.]
Solo
as I listened to his story,
a thought ran through my mind.
When you look up on a headstone,
there's something you will find.
The date you came into this world,
the year that you depart.
But the dash that's in the middle,
is the most important part.
[It won't give any details,
of a troubled life that's lived.
How many children that you had,
or the great things that you did.
If you take your life for granted,
the days and years will fly.
And when you get old, it's then you'll learn,
that all you had was time.]
Yes, when you get old, it's then you'll learn,
that all you had was time.
