It's About Time

                                  (Curtis Wright/Jim Collins)



Another fourteen hour day, crisis solved deadline made

I came home like always, tired and beat

Threw dinner in the microwave

Beside it on the counter lay

A letter from my wife addressed to me

It said I know you're workin' hard that's easy to see

Tryin' to provide the best for the kids and me

We've had less to work with 

But we've always worked it out

A house and yard, clothes and cars ain't all it's all about 



It's about time that you're not givin'

Life that you're not livin'

Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice

That our dreams are slowly fading

Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'

Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice

Cause if we are, you need to realize

It's about time 



When you were on a business trip, to bad you had to miss

Your spittin' image hit the winning run

You know he adores you, he was lookin' for you

Remember that you promised him you'd come

Did you know your little girl lost her front tooth today

She put it underneath her pillow

And tried to stay awake

I laid down beside her, didn't want to sleep alone

This is not about "not loving" can't you see what's goin' on 



It's about time that you're not givin'

Life that you're not livin'

Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice

That our dreams are slowly fading

Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'

Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice

Cause if we are, you need to realize

It's about time 



I walked up the stairs to find three angels sound asleep

One by one I tucked 'em in and kissed 'em on the cheek

I stood there and thought about how selfish I had been 

And how one day without 'em

Would be more than I could stand

And now I understand 



It's about time I should be givin'

Life I should be livin'

Keepin' my focus and let em know I notice

That the thing that's most important

Is sharing in each moment

Heaven knows they're worth the sacrifice

It's not too late now, that I realize

It's about time 



It's not too late now, that I realize

It's about time
