Time is ticking away, time is tickin'
Time is tickin away, Time is tickin'
You got a gift and you best start using it,
'cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it.
Just like the brother who buried it deep,
the task was simple but the price was steep.
We got a mission while we're on this earth,
we need to tell people about our second birth.
Get busy like a school boy makin' an "A"
'cause time my brother is tickin away.
Time is tickin' away, tick tick ticking away. (4x)
Right now is the time that we gotta get with it,
the gift that He's given ain't just an exhibit.
But a tool that He's given us to use for His sake.
And just as He's given He can surely take.
The signs of the times are dropping like flies,
the cries of the people around us imply.
They're lookin' for an answer that we already know,
but time is definitely on the go.
All the money in the world
could never stop the hands of time.
And a wasted day in your life
is more than a crime.
Time is tickin away, Time is tickin'

First to post, and only 11 years after the song came out. Not bad... right? We're on this planet for 1 reason, we don't have forever, and failure will cost millions an eternity from God. But no pressure. He's on our side.
