about

A song about cherishing the moment. What is our relationship with time? What would life be like if it could stand still, and what would you do?

lyrics

Pennies from heaven fall on my head,
Trickling down but I grab a second too late,
It’s run away again

You’re making plans with time on your hands,
But why do we always just think about the time in advance?
It’s run away again

And oh, it’s caught me again,
I feel a little older, I feel a little older,
And time, do you need a friend?
Could you stop for a moment, stop for a moment?

And oh, it’s come back again,
Time to stop waiting before life is fading,
But time, could just pretend?
To just stop for a moment, stop for a moment,
Slow it down, have a little faith in now

Pennies from heaven stuck in my shoe,
Feels like a pebble I want to get out my truth,
It’s run away again

No matter what comes you’ll hear me speak,
I’ll be here singing and that’s a small promise I keep,
It's run away again

And oh, it’s caught me again,
I feel a little older, I feel a little older
And time, do you need a friend?
Could you stop for a moment, stop for a moment?

And oh, it’s come back again
Time to stop waiting, before life is fading
But time, could just pretend,
To just stop for a moment, stop for a moment

Slow it down, stand your ground,
Slow it down, stand your ground
