There's No Time

There's no time.  There is just no time to be afraid.
     There's just no time to wait on the storm to fade.
There's no time.  There is just no time to run away.
     There's no time to ignore the way.
There's no time.  There is just no time to lie, cheat, and steal.
     There's no time to ignore God's will.
There's no time.  There is just no time to neglect our children.
     There's no time to betray a friend or next of kin.
There's no time.  There is no time to hurt a loved one.
     There's no time to feel guilty for the negative things you've done.
There's no time.  There is just no time to hate.
     There is no time to be late.
There's no time. Just no time to pick fights.
     There is no time to be wrong when you could be right.
There is no time.  There is no time to lie
     Because realisticly no one knows when they'll die.
   
                  That's why there's just no time!
