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
