lyrics

STOP THE SUN

When I was young – hours passed so slowly
When I was young – had all the time in the world
When I was young – hot summer nights lasted forever
And I thought I would too

But now I need more time
To do what I must do

I wanna raise my arms and
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the job is done
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the race is won
Shout!
Stop the sun – until I finish what I’ve just begun

When I was young – mistakes they didn’t matter
When I was young – always another chance
When I was young – time was meant for wasting
And now I want it back

‘Cause now I need more time
To do what I must do

I wanna raise my arms and
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the job is done
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the race is won
Shout!
Stop the sun – until I finish what I’ve just begun

The most important days in life
Are the day you’re born
And the day you find out why
And now I know
I can always make more money
But I can never make more time

Shout!
Stop the sun – until the job is done
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the race is won
Shout!
Stop the sun – until I finish what I’ve just begun

I wanna raise my arms and stop the sun
I wanna raise my arms and stop the sun
I wanna raise my arms and stop the sun
