Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir Time Out Lyrics

You live your life
Like you are counting every hour
No time to spare
No time to smell the flowers
You work your fingers to the bone (just to stay alive)
Now you find yourself alone (you say you will survive)
This life won't last forever
You need to take some time out while you can
CHORUS:
Time out (stop and look around you)
Take some time out (so many things to see)
Time out (don't let this life go on without you)
Take some time out, time out
Time out! All day, all night
You're trying to make a living
It's an oversight
There's something you're forgetting
Your son has things he wants to show you (you are never home)
Your friends don't even know you (and you never phone)
This life won't last forever
You need to take some time out while you can
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Good friends, family, too
Look at all, all that God has given to you
He gave His all, His greatest Gift
Life that we can live
CHORUS
