[Verse 1] Time seems spacious Our companion at birth Then, it challenges us to a race Our competitor now Perhaps we can manage it Surely, we can tame it [Verse 2] We wrestle it We cram things into it It nips at our heels It tightens its grip Wrapping around us Making us trip [Verse 3] Relentlessly squeezing Difficulty breathing Years pass in relentless fight Worries wrinkle Bones are brittle now We’re forced to slow down [Bridge - building tension, increasingly sparse] We look around for the light Struggling with our might [Break - all rhythm stops, near silence] Take a deep breath There's not much time left [Pause] [Chorus - slow, spacious, luminous, no pulse] Time is not the enemy It's our teacher telling us "Cease the fight Become present to the moment And discover A universe of peace inside" [Outro] And discover a universe of peace And discover … a universe of peace
