lyrics

There’s always more time when you’re running.
Always more time left in the day.
Always more time if you want it,
always more time on that clock to make a play.

Einstein, wild mind, got on the train one day.
This time he went too fast and saw the clock stayed the same.
How could he know the faster he went the slower it’d go?
The universe favors the mover.
Luck favors the bold.

Speed of light, outta sight, it came and then it went,
never telling the meaning of the message that was sent.
One transmission from one side, one word to another.
Last look at the planet earth, we’re trying to get to another.
Can’t lose any time thinking on my sins.
By the time I go to die, I’m looking back on all that’s been.
Did I cast off the shroud and was I satisfied?
Or am I still holding onto something better left behind?

Do you remember when we stood
to join the voyage and sailed out to sea?
Even the air upon my lips was a lover’s kiss to me.
Now and then, the priestess spoke,
“With rats and ships comes the plague.
But if we make it to the other shore
we will bask in Heaven’s shade.”
And you struck out with your fists,
“Our graves are not yet made!”
She looked and you and nodded,
and said, “Indeed, there is another way.”

There’s always more time.
It’s not meant to be saved.
