Don't step the days of your life

On a treadmill, walk each day

But cover no new ground

There's something more ahead

Exercise the freedom to explore

Just who you are?

But don't abuse that right

It'll drain you of your life

From ahead look behind

In the nick of time

You can mediate demise

In the nick of time

Remembering your friends

Who once occupied your time

The simpler things in life

Isn't it a shame that you've lost

Just what you had

No regrets but lessons that

Live on inside your mind

From ahead look behind

In the nick of time

You can mediate demise

In the nick of time

Turn to yourself

In the nick of time

You can rely on no one else

In the nick of time
