Let's say you're a bird
And all your life's about
Is flying

Let's play games of life
Let's be children once or twice more
As we move straightforward
Nonstop, into time

Let's be what we're not meant to be
Let's sing our songs of life and love
Let's wonder 'is there one above?'
Let's sing our passions and desires

But we need time and no one else
Yeah, we need time and no one else
To face our lives from inside out
The nothingness they're about

Chords of major, minor moods and
Skies of green and trees of blue and
There's no such thing as sense no more

And carelessness becomes just a word
But all the words claim to come out
All at once, but on and on

But we need time and no one else
Yeah, we need time and no one else
To face our lives from inside out
The nothingness they're about
