Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you

Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through

I'll believe
When you don't believe in anything

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years

I, when I think that I'm losing my mind
It all comes back to you

And you, you know that it's true
After all we've been through
There's nothing that I wouldn't do

Stand by me
And I would gladly give up everything

[Chorus: x2]

    As time keep flowing, we, each individual of humanity, keep on changing... And he says that he'll stay with the people who suffer untill they dont suffer anymore, that means that he really cares about us feeling allright. And no matter if we make it thru, if we get to a new phase of our evolution, it was worth the fight!

    I love this song, particularly the instrumentals towards the end. Its such a diversity and makes a great end to a great song. If someone promised to be with me for the next 100 years I would probably be one of the happiest people ever :-)
