Take Time - The Lilac Time

I was on the level when I began to slide

I was on the top rung too when I began to climb

I called you up from the abyss

To say the purpose of your life is

Just to live your life

The life that you are living

They don�t know what they�re doing

They do it very well

If you ask for Heaven

Oh, they’ll try to sell you Hell

And if you live within their laws

They�ll take your life and still want more

And they�ll hurry you so just tell them to

Take time, it�ll be fine

Take time, what�s your hurry to be dying?

You�ve got a life to live

If only you could give

If you don�t have money

They’ll try to keep you poor

And if you�ve lots of money

Oh, they’ll try to give you more

And we were born with simple needs

But they teach us creed and not to read

This is our world too so just tell them to

Take time, it�ll be fine

Take time, what�s your hurry to be dying?

You�ve got a life to live

If only you could give

I want your attention

Time is their invention

Take time but take it easy

Take it like the time
