[Verse One]
I was captured by the light of a wayward smile
When she said to me
"Move slowly son and touch the sky
Very soon you'll see"

[Chorus One]
Oo, how precious time
Placed its hand on me
Oo, how precious time
How it rescued me

[Verse Two]
See the line of sight inside your mind
But from where I don't know
And the tales that are left behind
Left for all to grow

[Chorus One]
Oo, precious time
Placed its hand on me
Oo, precious time
How it rescued me

[Bridge]
Oo, how it rescued me
How it rescued me
[Chorus Two]
Oh, there's a place in time not far from here
A place we all could see
So if you're looking for a better day
Touch the sky and see

[Chorus One]
Oo, precious time
Placed its hand on me
Oo, precious time
How it rescued me

[Verse Three]
Be the soldiers for your lives, my friends
Fight for all to see
It's the only way to catch the sun
It's the only way you'll see

[Chorus One]
Oh, how precious time
Placed its hand on me
Yeah, precious time
How it rescued me
Baby, baby, it rescued me

[Chorus Two]
Oh, there's a place in time not far from here
A place we all could see
So if you're looking for a better day
Touch the sky and see
[Chorus One]
Oh, precious time
Placed it's hand on me
Oh, precious time
Oo, how it rescued me
