Time It Well Lyrics

Time it well

For everything has consequence

What you do today

Will surely follow you

Tomorrow

Every puddle has a ripple

From the footfall of your soul

Every ripple sends a wave

Each wave a consequence

So tread lightly on the shore,

For your toe upon the surf

Will build into a wall,

Travel far across the universe,

To crash upon some distant land

And drown the dreams and cries

Of those who've never known you,

But have to pay the price.

The fluttering of the oceans

Will bring forth the emotions

That drift upon the skies,

Unseen in strangers' eyes.

And whatever you might think

And whatever you might do

Will drift upon the oceans

And tear into their lives.

There will come a time, my dear,

When your deeds are weighed

There will come a time

You will see your acts displayed

Before you

And all the hurt you've caused

Will visit you once more

But this time you're the one who feels the pain.

Tread lightly

And leave no mark out there,

For the tracks you leave behind you

Will lead some to despair,

As they trip upon your thoughts and deeds,

The pain and screams, the broken dreams,

The promises and lies,

Those others you have sacrificed,

Will haunt your dying day,

As you leave it all behind.

The fluttering of the oceans

Will bring forth the emotions

That drift upon the skies,

Unseen in strangers' eyes.

And whatever you might think

And Whatever you might do

Will drift upon the oceans

And tear into their lives.

So weigh your time,

Time it well.

Make no ripples.

Make no swell.

Keep your head above the water,

Keep your head above the water,

My dear.
