oh time, oh time

Oh time, oh time, don’t fly away,

Allow my soul to rest and sing.

Let me hear more of what you say,

So, I can stop this madly race.

Oh time, oh time, who thou create?

Was it, oh time, the race of men?

To conquer more, to take my soul.

To vanquish hope, oh time stop!

I haven’t caught the breeze, the wind,

that passing by I once felt warm,

I haven’t seen the leaves, the birds.

I haven’t been what my soul craves.

Oh time, oh time if I write song,

My heart repeats this verse and more.

Will you bring peace, will you bring joy?

Or just this rush, oh time, please stop!
