Time To Fade Away

[Instrumental intro] I think it’s time for me to just fade away Things seem to be getting worse each and every day I can’t understand the way people think these days So, yes, it’s time I just faded away When I was young and in my prime The world was mine, I never saw the passing of time I never feared about what path I would take Never thought I would see my spirit break But now that I’m old and a little more wise What I see today brings tears to my eyes Our young men have all their dreams crushed It’s a shamed to see what’s become of us I think it’s time for me to just fade away Things seem to be getting worse each and every day I can’t understand the way people think these days So….. yes, it’s time….I just faded away [Instrumental interlude] What has happened to the innocence of youth Kids too scared to walk home from school Our young ladies have to compete against a man When will their parents, take a bold stand Maybe I’m wrong to just fade away But my time has passed, I can only pray Maybe one day, things for the better will change Now…I think it’s time for me…to just fade away. [Instrumental interlude] I think it’s time for me to just fade away Things seem to be getting worse each and every day I can’t understand the way people think these days So, yes, it’s time I just faded away I’ll just fade away….my time has past Maybe some day peace will come to last As for me, I’ve had my day It’s Time for me…..to just fade away Yeah…..time for me….to just fade…..away [Fade out]
