ALL VOCALS ARE STRICTLY FROM THE MOUTH.

Lyrics:
If you want to know the value of one year for argument's sake
Ask the student who failed a course and had to retake
If you want to know the value of one month maybe
Ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby
If you want to know the value of just one week
Ask the separated loved ones who are waiting to meet
If you want to know the value of just one day
Ask the one who has cancer and is kneeling to pray
If you want to know the value of an hour of your time
Ask the one who is struggling to meet their deadline
If you want to know the value of just one minute
Ask the one who missed a train and wasted that ticket
If you want to know the value of only one second
Ask the one who just survived as his death beckoned
If you want to know the value of one hundredth of a second
Then for the truth to be told
You'll need to ask the athlete who won a silver instead of the gold
These hours and these minutes are the most valuable assets that
you have in your possession
These hours and these minutes are the keys to your progression
These hours and these minutes are forming our time
So make use of yours
Because I'm ready to make use of mine
