[Verse 1]
Ooh, time is like a soldier
Marching in and out of line
Left alone and far behind
Ooh, it ain't what they sold ya
Bullets wasted in the gun
Step by step, your life is gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you gonna be somebody now?
Somebody now, somebody when
Someone else is gonna need somebody now, somebody now
Somebody ’cause we all do

[Chorus]
The hourglass is breaking
The sands are pouring out
It's right there for the taking
The clock is running down
Ooh, you better grab it with your own two hands
While you still have the chance
'Cause time don’t wait for no man

[Verse 2]
Ooh, time, you are a stranger
I'm seeing less of you around
Soon enough, you won't be found
Ooh, we're looking for a savior
To rip the cord, and cut the sound
Slow this crazy world on down
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you gonna be somebody now?
Somebody now, somebody when
Someone else is gonna need somebody now, somebody now
Somebody 'cause we all do

[Chorus]
The hourglass is breaking
The sands are pouring out
It's right there for the taking
The clock is running down
Ooh, you better grab it with your own two hands
While you still have the chance
'Cause time don't wait for no man

[Bridge]
Somebody got the time
Somebody got the time
Somebody got the time

[Chorus]
The hourglass is breaking
The sands are pouring out
It’s right there for the taking
The clock is running down
Ooh, you better grab it with your own two hands
While you still have the chance
’Cause time don't wait for no man
