[Intro - Steady Guitar Pulse and Driving Drums] [Verse 1 - Fast Rhythmic Male Rock Vocal] The alarm goes off, another day begins, And already time is running ahead. Always the same responsibilities, Always something that just can't wait. Work all day, then getting home too late, Counting hours just like money spent. We work so hard to build tomorrow, While tomorrow steals away the present. [Pre-Chorus - Rapid Rising Rock Build] I run to give them something more, While today keeps slipping through my hands. And the harder I try to hold it all... THE MORE I WONDER WHEN WE FIND THE TIME TO LIVE! [Chorus - Powerful Wide Melodic Rock] [Strong Drums, Driven Guitars and Layered Male Harmonies] TIME TO LIVE! Where does it go between our days? TIME TO LIVE! When everything keeps pushing us ahead? I keep fighting for the ones I love, Trying to give them all I can. But sometimes I can't escape the feeling... I'M FIGHTING FOR THEM WHILE I'M FAR FROM THEM. [Verse 2 - Faster Rhythmic Rock Vocal] [Tight Guitar Rhythm and Driving Bass] There's my home and the one I love, My children I just want to watch grow. All those moments that seem ordinary, But one day we'll wish we could hold. Then there are dreams still waiting for me, All the things I still want to create. I wish that I could be everywhere, But there's never enough time in a day. Sometimes I come home worn and tired, Still wanting to give a little more. And quietly I ask myself... AM I REALLY THERE ENOUGH FOR THEM? [Pre-Chorus - Strong Rising Rock Build] I wish that I could give them more Than all these hours will ever allow. But somewhere between need and love... I'M STILL SEARCHING FOR THE TIME TO LIVE! [Chorus - Bigger Powerful Melodic Rock] [Wide Guitars, Strong Drums and Male Harmonies] TIME TO LIVE! Where does it go between our days? TIME TO LIVE! When everything keeps pushing us ahead? I keep fighting for the ones I love, Trying to give them all I can. But sometimes I can't escape the feeling... I'M FIGHTING FOR THEM WHILE I'M FAR FROM THEM. [Bridge - Sudden Slow Half-Time Drop] [Restrained Guitar, Deep Bass and Sparse Drums] [Slow Intimate Male Vocal] I don't want to choose Between securing tomorrow... And being here today. I don't want the years to disappear While all I can say is: “I did what I had to do.” I want to look back and remember... THAT I WAS THERE. [Gradual Emotional Build] I can't stop the hands of time. I can't make my days any longer. But maybe I can still learn... TO PROTECT THE MOMENTS I STILL HAVE TO GIVE THEM. [Strong Drum and Guitar Rebuild] [Final Chorus - Huge Cinematic Melodic Rock] [Wide Harmonized Male Backing Vocals] TIME TO LIVE! I'll keep searching for it every day. TIME TO LIVE! Even when the world tries to take it away. I'll keep fighting for the ones I love, But I'll fight to stay close to them too. I know I can't be everywhere... BUT I CAN BE THERE WHEN THEY NEED ME TO. [Final Rock Lift] Wake up. Work. Sleep. Maybe tomorrow starts again. But between all these hours that aren't mine... I'LL KEEP A PART OF MY LIFE FOR THEM AND FOR ME. [Outro - Steady Guitar Pulse Slowly Fades] Maybe I'll never be The perfect man I imagine. But as long as I still have time... I'll keep trying To be present. And to live.
