Decades pass in just one year And your illusions disappear And you fear the speeding time You find a dream that you embrace Look the other way and it's a race Trying to keep pace with the speeding time Don't see no more dancin' on the street And its not easy to laugh at your defeat But hang in--hold on There will be relief Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive In this speeding time Get your feet on solid ground It's a nightmare you have found The howling sound of speeding time Y'hear the cries behind stone walls Decipher echoes down the halls But don't you fall in the speeding time Drifting back is no way to begin Y'gotta try to find the strength within And hang in--hold on There will be relief Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive In this speeding time You never listened when the prophets said Prepare yourself for times that lie ahead Now that you know they didn't speak a lie There's nothing for you to do except to try And hang in--hold on Oh, hang in--hold on There will be relief Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive In this speeding time
