He said, "Don't you blink Soak it up 'cause the next thing You know you turn around and wonder where your whole life's gone Remember, it's about the journey Don't fill your days with worry Sure them youngins drive you crazy, but you'll miss 'em when they're grown" Oh, time ain't always your friend It starts slow and gets faster towards the end So fill up your heart with love, pass it on before you go And thank the Man upstairs that you were there to plant a seed and watch it grow True love and the gospel Might take a while to blossom But ya dig down in that garden, and you plant 'em anyways Just let God be the farmer He's got the sun and water It's up to Him to let 'em bloom And let 'em see the light of day Oh, time ain't always your friend It starts slow and gets faster towards the end So fill up your heart with love, pass it on before you go And thank the Man upstairs that you were there to plant a seed and watch it grow Oh, time ain't always your friend It starts slow and gets faster towards the end So fill up your heart with love, pass it on before you go And thank the Man upstairs that you were there to plant a seed and watch it grow
