TIME WAS (Tozer)The changing of the season took me by surpriseDid anybody catch it passing byWhen tomorrow turned to yesterday I must have closed my eyesWhen did time take wings and learn to flyCan anybody tell me what happened to the yearSomeone hit fast forward and it’s spinning out of gearThe sound’s distorted and the memories aren’t quite clearLook out for Armageddon it must be nearly here
Looking back on yesterday and the ones we left behindA time we thought the world would never endIn the circle of the universe and the turning wheel of timeCould it be we’ll pass that way againAnd looking at the lives we lived they seem so far awayAnd how we got to now is hard to sayBut the total of our memories is what we are todayThe memories are forever though time has passed our way
Time was, time is now, Time will be againLet the future recall the past, and the memories feel like friends
As we’re coming closer to the winter of our yearsAnd the future’s getting clearer than the pastAnd the laughter we remember is louder than the tearsAnd every day is shorter than the lastThen it’s time to take it easy the race is almost runAnd now we’ve come full circle back to where it all begunWill we see the changes after everything we’ve doneAnd who got there before us and how the race was won
Time was, time is now, time will be againLet the future recall the past, and the memories feel like friends
We’re in the race to ArmageddonWho won the race to Armageddon
