So quickly time will come and time will go
   It runs on by
   It steals your hopes and dreams and one last chance
   You never know
  
   I can see it now
   I can feel its scolding hand
   Saying come on now you've got to run
  
   You wonder can you stop the hands of time
   Erase your fate
   He's laughing, knowing that he's got control
   Just watch and wait
  
   I can see it now
   I can hear the whispered voice
   Telling me now you've got no time to waste
  
   It's a matter of time
   It's just a matter of time
  
   And you've got to see
   You have the answer, you have the strength
   There's no denying it's in your hands
   It's in your hands
  
   It's a matter of time..
  
   Living breathing touching feeling
   Hoping dreaming still deceiving
   Searching finding losing crying
   Know the truth you're dying
   Oh you're dying
  
   It's a matter of time..
  
   Remember who you are and what you have
   The time is yours
   Your flame is burning down so guard it well
   It may go out
  
   I can see it now
   I can see the end of time
   Holding the answers to all your fears
  
   It's a matter of time...
