Time takes almost everything
Me and time will take my time
I look around for things to bring
To ease the way down the uphill climb
On the bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
They say that time is slowed by speed
But really, that's not the way it seems
Maybe the key is thoughtful words and deeds
To open up the voices of your dreams
On the bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
There are a few things we can pass along
Maybe that will be enough
Half the distance to the beautiful
With some of the many ways to love
On the bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
On the bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
I've got to live a long, long time
For eyes that light up everything they see
Can't check out early like those friends of mine
The faster you go, the less you need
The bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
The bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
