Sonic Scientist - Hold On Lyrics

I used to think I'd live forever
Paid no heed to time
Like it didn't even matter

Now I see I lost my way
No guarantees that we'll
Be given even one more day

Got to hold on to the moment
There's a reason we call it the present

Rich or poor, it makes no difference
Everybody's day has fourteen hundred forty minutes
There is no way to start again
Time waits for no one
Cannot stop the moon and sun

Hang on tight it's going forward
Can't slow it down or speed it up
The clock just keeps on ticking, tocking, yeah

Got to hold on to the moment
There's a reason we call it the present
Baby, hold on tight to me, yeah
Don't let today just slip away

Baby, hold on to me!
This precious day is all we've got
Time isn't free, but it
Can't purchase, it can't be bought
Time marches on day by day
You'd better have your fun
Before it is too late

Now I see that I was blinded
Fooled by youth, was I
I couldn't see around the bend
Couldn't see what's up ahead

Got to hold on to the moment
There's a reason we call it the present
Baby, hold on tight to me, yeah
Don't let today just slip away
