'There is time for everything'
Ecclesiastes was right
But Man, in his nature
Has not enough time for everything
Sing, if you wish to sing
That could be the time
Give, if you wish to give
That could be the time
Dance, if you wish to dance
Before strength leaves you and you start to feel cold
Write, if you wish to write
Life is fleeting, time is quick
There is time for trouble,
And time for merriment
There is time to reap good fish
And time to harvest a net-full of crabs
So, in this life
Of bliss and pain and joy
I will be strong
I will get my sums right
Before time comes when there is no time
I will do strongly
Before the sun stops to shine
I will do strongly
Before the rivers cease to flow
and the wind fails to blow
I will do strongly
Before the dusts of time fossilize my name
Before it's dusk to dawn no more
I will do strongly
