lyrics

BUILDING A GOOD THING
NOT GETTING DEFEATED
STARTING FROM NOTHING
TIL IT IS COMPLETED
SEEMS TO BE THAT IT TAKES TIME

MAKING A SUCCESS
OUT OF THE ENDEAVOUR
STARTING FROM MUCH LESS
GETTING IT TOGETHER
SEEMS TO BE THAT IT TAKES TIME

DAYS AND WEEKENDS
MONTHS AND SEASONS
YEARS AND DECADES

DAYS AND WEEKENDS (AND YET THERE IS NO GUARANTEE)
MONTHS AND SEASONS (OF FINISHING SUCCESSFULLY)
YEARS AND DECADES (THE ONLY THING CERTAIN TO FIND)
(IS THAT IT TAKES TIME)

DAYS AND WEEKENDS (THERES NO GUARANTEE TO ARRIVE)
MONTHS AND SEASONS (BEFORE YOU GET OLD AND YOU DIE)
YEARS AND DECADES (THE ONLY THING CERTAIN TO FIND)
(SEEMS TO BE THAT IT TAKES TIME)
