[Verse 1]
We all need time
A constant of life
Like an unrelenting tide
It heals yet it binds
But I don't like time
We all need change
But we can't remain
In the structures we've made
We need to rearrange
But I don't like change (No, I don't like change)

[Verse 2]
We all need quiet
A little respite
To break the rhythm and the rhyme (Rhyme)
When you're feeling tired
But I don't like quiet
We all need love
It's all that we've got
But it takes a lot of trust
And I don't have enough
So I don't like love (I don't like love)

[Pre-Chorus]
Mm, tell me why we treat time like it's punishment
Always rushing from the start till the end of it
Racing from the womb to the tomb, we don't leave any [rummages?] (Take [on?])
A little bit of ease (Ooh)
[Chorus]
We were born into the fray, no time to wait
No pit-stopping, got no time to stay
And we wonder why we cannot dream
Maybe we should close our eyes and see
Oh, we set our affections on the prize of the toil
Forsaking His love as we relent to the soil
The ground wasn't made to be the master
A crown only reserved for the Father

[Bridge]
Are there not hundreds of reasons
To turn all of my gaze upon Jesus?
'Cause I am beginning to see (I am beginning to see)
Time's never wasted when I'm resting in Thee

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Are there not hundreds of reasons
To turn all of my gaze upon Jesus?
'Cause I am beginning to see
Time's never wasted when I'm resting in Thee
