Race against Time

Dominick Harvey 1993 (FL)

Revolving doors open and close
Shaking old habits no longer in fear
Consuming courage taking a heaping dose
Racing against time spirited away from what I cherish the most
Taking a step as the clock ticks
Jumping the gun trying to stay ahead of time
As I go time is but a speck in the rearview
It's a task to hold this lead
The race will never end
Until the next life I begin to receive
