How long have I got Before common days become legend How long have I got 'Til this dream of life becomes heaven Oh, life passed too fast It's hard to know it won't last forever
How long have I got Before passion gives up its fire How long have I got Before time strangles desire Oh, my fear is to leave here Never having really arrived
Who can hear my beating heart Pounding so, wanting more Who can hear my beating heart Pounding on the door
How long have I got To make mistakes and be wiser How long have I got To learn to be less of a liar Oh, to face my best try I know I need someone who is higher
How long have I got To answer a higher calling How long have I got To walk the line without falling Oh, needing meaning, wanting to know Just what I'm here for
