Life Won't Wait
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take the news of the day
And throw it away
Time will kill all the pain,
Fate will cure the decay of all this blind ambition,
The greed brings us together
Stay true,
Be brave,
It all comes down to you
Try to just let it go,
Know that just is too slow,
But it comes in the end
Rise, the guilty will fall,
Stay, they can't take it all; they want the unimportant,
It's love they leave behind
Stand up,
Aim true,
Keep heart,
The future looks to you
Every second you throw away,
Every minute of every day,
Don't get caught in a memory,
Cause life won't wait for you,
No, life won't wait for you, my friend
I'm watching a change,
Who will carry the flame?
It all feels very strange
Dreams that men can be good,
Faith to live as we should and know we're all connected,
We give ourselves the power
Stay strong,
Stay true,
Be brave,
It all comes down to you
Every day that you wait, you're falling faster,
No slide of hand,
No twist of fate,
No ever after
When it's gone, it's gone,
A fight 'til the bitter end,
Life won't wait for you,
No, life won't wait for you, my friend
Life won't wait for you, my friend
Life won't wait for you, my friend
Life won't wait for you, my friend
Life won't wait for you, my friend
The song "Life Won't Wait" by Ozzy Osbourne is about the inevitability of time and how it waits for no one.

The song encourages us to take control of our lives and to be strong and brave in the face of uncertainty.
The first verse talks about the transitory nature of the news and how it can be discarded. The lyrics suggest that time will heal all wounds and that fate will eventually cure any problems we face. The second verse encourages us to abandon our blind ambition and to focus on what really matters, which is love.
The chorus is a call to action, urging listeners to stand strong, stay true, be brave and take control of their lives. It tells them not to waste a single second or minute and to avoid getting bogged down by memories. The bridge is a rallying cry for us to keep fighting till the end, as life is too precious to be wasted.
Overall, the song is a reminder to live life to the fullest and to not let ourselves be caught up in the past or the future, but to be present and make the most of every moment.
