Staring at this battered photograph
Of my ancestors who've long since disappeared
I wonder did they lead a timid life
Or did they grab the bull by the horns and scare their fears
I wonder what advice they'd give to me
It doesn't take a rocket scientist it's quite clear

CHORUS
This is my time tonight
I got one chance
One bite of life
With your smooth arms
Wrapped round me tight
I'm going to chase the light

My next door neighbour's 81
And I always make sure to listen when he speaks
People like him should be brought to schools
And paid to talk coz they've so much to teach
He laughed one day when he heard me say
I'm worried about turning 29
Son he said, Step outta that head
If you want to swap I'll be 29, I wouldn't mind

CHORUS

This is my time right now
An honest light
When my time's up
I'll take a bow
I'm gonna grab it now
I'm going to chase the light

I'm gonna chase the light
I'm gonna catch the light
