Someday the statues will fall
And so will we cause time will take us all
It takes and it gives, it breaks and it mends
It takes our friends and it makes us men
We put up a fight, we're born to die
The bell will toll that's its design
The past dissolves, the present cries
And we're running out of time

I won't sit and I won't wait
The second hand won't seal my fate
The world is a cage and its bars are made
To bend and ultimately break
Watch me escape
The second hand gives chase
To take me away someday
But not today
I'll stay right here today

And I will live
And I will give
Every breath like it was my last
Cause time is just sand slipping through my grasp
And I will live
Oh I will
And I will live
And I will give
