[Intro: Jimmie Vaughan]
"One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength, and began helping one another
Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way"

[Verse: Stevie Ray Vaughan]
The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
The tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumblin' down

[Pre-Chorus: Stevie Ray Vaughan]
People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember

[Chorus]
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away
(remember that)
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away-ay

[Verse: Stevie Ray Vaughan]
I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me
Worst of enemies became the best of friends (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus: Stevie Ray Vaughan]
People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future
Remember

[Chorus]
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away
(remember that)
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away-ay

[Bridge]
Time keeps on keeping on (remember that)
Time keeps on keeping on (remember that)
Time keeps on keeping on (remember that)
Time's tickin' away (remember that!)
[Pre-Chorus: Stevie Ray Vaughan]
People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future
Remember

[Chorus]
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away-ay
(Remember that)
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away
(Remember)
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away-ay
(Keeps on keeping on, keep on keeping)
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people; time's tickin' away
