When I was only 3 Time said to me Please wait The world is far too large And you're hardly in charge I promise I won't be late So Time said to me Please wait Outside the world changed Like my eyes had rearranged How the sun would rise And how things never died And when I was 5 Time said to me You're barely alive So please wait Then the world became large Its edges began to bend When I was only 10 And Time said once again Please wait You can waste away my hours Watching bees in the flowers Don't worry about me At this stage you are free And Time made me see That I could wait Soon impatient I became And Time I did blame I was already 16 When life turned to a dream And Time was left behind And I couldn't see it ahead But Time still said Please wait Growing past 20 Time now my enemy Deceiving me with promises Distorting the world When it's small I don't fit in When it's large I become lost Then I asked Time Who is your boss? Years have gone by I ignore Time's foolish lie So I refuse to hear Time whisper in my ear Please wait
