Time is tickin` away, time is tickin`
Time is tickin` away, time is tickin`
You got a gift and you best start using it
Cause if you don`t you`re gonna wind up losing it
Just like the brother who buried it deep
The task was simple but the price was steep
We got a mission while we`re on this earth
We need to tell people `bout our second birth
Get busy like a school boy makin` an A
Cause time my brother is tickin` away
(chorus)
Time is tickin` away, tick tick tickin` away
Time is tickin` away, tick tick tickin` away
Time is tickin` away, tick tick tickin` away
Time is tickin` away, tick tick tickin` away
Right now is the time that we gotta get with it
The gift that He`s given ain`t just an exhibit
But a tool that He`s given us to use for His sake
And just as He`s given He can surely take
The signs of the times are dropping like flies
The cries of the people around us imply
They`re lookin` for an answer that we already know
But time is definitely on the go
All the money in the world
Can never stop the hands of time
a wasted day in your life
Is more than a crime
(chorus)
Time is tickin` away, time is tickin`
Time is tickin` away, time is tickin`
You got a gift and you best start using it
Cause if you don`t you`re gonna wind up losing it
Get busy like a school boy makin` an A
Cause time my brother is tickin` away
Time is tickin`, it keeps on tickin`
Time is tickin` away (6x)
[Whoa, wait a minute...]
