Lyrics for Time by Freddie Mercury

Time, waits for nobody Time, waits for nobody We all must plan our hopes together Or we'll have no more future at all Time, waits for nobody We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind I know that sounds unkind But it seems to me we've not listened to Or spoken about it at all The fact that time is running out for us all Time, waits for nobody Time, waits for no-one We've got to build this world together Or we'll have no more future at all Because time - it waits for nobody You don't need me to tell you What's gone wrong (gone wrong, gone wrong) You know what's going on But it seems to me we've not cared enough Or confided in each other at all It seems that we've all got our backs Against the wall (Time) Time, waits for nobody (Time) Oh, waits for no-one We've got to trust in one another Or there'll be no more future at all Yeah! (Time waits for nobody) No! No! (Time don't wait for no-one) Let's learn to be friends with one another Or there'll be no more future at all Time (time) time (time) Waits for nobody, waits for nobody Time, time, time, time Waits for nobody at all Time waits for nobody, yeah Time don't wait - waits for no-one Let us free this world for ever And build a brand new future for us all Time waits for nobody, nobody, nobody For no-one
