By The Time

Took 25 years
Of climbing these stairs
To realise my destination
In a world that let me down
Funny how when a good thing's found
We let it slide
Like we don't need it around

By the time you figure out
If you should be here
Better hope I'm still around
By the time you get in line
To buy a seat here
Better hope I'm still around

Took 25 years
Of saying these prayers
To realise that my salvation
Would never let me down
Funny how when a good thing's found
We let it slide
Take it for granted
Like we don't need it around
