It's About Time

(Curtis Wright - Jim Collins)
 Another fourteen hour day
 Cisis solved, deadline made
 I came home like always tired and beat
 Threw dinner in the microwave
 Beside it on the counter lay
 A letter from my wife addressed to me.
 It said, I know you're working hard that's easy to see
 Tryin' to provide the best for the kids and me
 We've had less to work with but we've always worked it out
 A house and yard clothes and cars ain't all it's all about.
 It's about time that you're not givin' life, that you're not livin'
 Losin' your focus not knowin' you don't notice
 That our dreams are slowly fadin'
 Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'?
 Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice
 Cause if we are, you need to realize, it's about time.

 While you were on a business trip to bad you had to miss
 Your spittin' image hit the winnin' run
 You know he adores you he was looking for you
 Remember that you promised him you'd come.
 Did you know your little girl lost her front tooth today
 She put it underneath her pillow and tried to stay awake
 I laid down beside her didn't want to sleep alone
 This is not about not loving can't you see what's going on?
 It's about time that you're not givin' life, that you're not livin'
 Losin' your focus not knowin' you don't notice
 That our dreams are slowly fadin'
 Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'?

 I walked up the stairs to find three angels sound asleep
 One by one I tucked 'em in and kissed 'em on the cheek
 I stood there and thought about how selfish I had been
 And how one day without 'em would be more than I could stand.
 And now I understand
 It's about time I should be givin'...
