Our time is very short
and there’s a ton of stuff to do
and a lot of miles to travel
before the day is through.

There are people in between us
and where we’re headed for,
That could well mean trouble
or it could open up a door.

Life is meant to live.
I will do things my way,
whether I see gain or loss
this is my debt to pay.

So let’s get up and go, boys
we’re burning daylight fast
let’s get the job well done
so as to earn repast.

And when the night time comes
and the last daylight’s gone
let us dream the dreams of kings
up to the approaching dawn.
