We all need time
A constant of life
Like an unrelenting tide
It heals yet it binds
But I don't like time

We all need change
For we can't remain
In the structures we've made
We need to rearrange
But I don't like change

We all need quiet
A little respite
To break the rhythm and the rhyme
When you're feeling tired
But I don’t like quiet

We all need love
It’s all that we've got
But it takes a lot of trust
And I don't have enough
So I don't like love (I don't like love)

Tell me why we treat time like it's punishment
Always rushing from the start to the end of it
Racing from the womb to the tomb
We don't leave any room to just (take on) a little bit of ease

We were born into the fray
No time to wait
A pit stop ain't got no time to stay
And we wonder why we cannot dream
Well maybe we should close our eyes and see

We set our affections on the prize of the toil
Forsaking His love as we relent to the soil
The ground wasn't made to be the master
A crown only reserved for the Father

Are there not hundreds of reasons
To turn all of my gaze upon Jesus
I am beginning to see
Time's never wasted when I'm resting in Thee

Are there not hundreds of reasons
To turn all of my gaze upon Jesus
I am beginning to see
Time's never wasted when I'm resting in Thee
