Time Slips By
(Dain Bedford-Pugh)

I dreamt that I was following in my own footsteps
And I could not believe all that I had seen
I climbed the highest peak to see all that I would forget
As I contemplated what it all could mean

 The part of me that thought I knew the answer
Is desperately looking back to see what was left behind
It’s all catching up so I try to run…a little faster
A roaring river in search of a tide

The little things that you let slide
May drop in someday to give you a terrible surprise
You know that you will never be free . . . nor satisfied
With just sitting back as time slips by

I slammed the door shut on all distractions
I closed my mind off to avoid all thought
But I knew that soon enough I’d be forced. . . into action
Although I could hideaway, I’d soon be caught

As I crawled my way out to face the world
I saw a billion colors shimmering in the sun
I got to my feet as a voice of hope. . . rose and swirled
And I knew that we would make it if we walked as one

The little things that you let slide
May drop in someday to give you a terrible surprise
You know that you will never be free . . . nor satisfied
With just sitting back as time slips by

I’m walking with you now
I’m fighting alongside you now
I’m trying to see everything as you do

Instrumental – Guitar Solo

The little things that you let slide
May drop in someday to give you a terrible surprise
You know that you will never be free . . . nor satisfied
With just sitting back as time slips by

The little things that you let slide
May drop in someday to give you a terrible surprise
You know that you will never be free . . . nor satisfied
With just sitting back as time slips by
As time slips by again
as time slips by again
As time slips by again
Let’s not let time slip by again
