Not Enough Time
Johan Gielen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With their wicked words they’ll try to hold you down
No this is not our fate
The lives in which they are bound
And there is something more we know it has to be found
I know the world won’t wait, the tide is turning around
And there’s not enough time
With all their wicked words they’ll never hold you down
No this is not our fate
The tide is turning around
No there’s not enough time
In the fallout of the wasted, in the half light
I stand before you in the last dance of an old life
Now the cool wind’s blowing and we can’t stay, but it’s alright




When the night is gone I will still be here
No there’s not enough time
