I was captured by the light of a wayward smile
when she said to me,
"move slowly son and touch the sky,
very soon you'll see
oo, how precious time placed it's hand on me;
oo, how precious time, how it rescued me."

see the line of sight in side your mind,
but from where i don't know.
and the tales that are left behind,
left for all to grow.
oo, precious time placed it's hand on me;
oo, precious time, how it rescued me."
oo, how it rescued me, how it rescued me.

oh, there's a place in time not far from here,
a place we all could see;
so if you're lookin' for a better day,
touch the sky and see.
oh, precious time placed it's hand on me;
oh, precious time, how it rescued me.

be the soldiers for your lives my friends,
fight for all to see.
it's the only way to catch the sun;
it's the only way you'll see,
oh how precious time placed it's hand on me,
yeah precious time
how it rescued me, baby, baby it rescued me.

oh, there's a place in time not far from here,
a place we all could see;
so if you're lookin' for a better day,
touch the sky and see.
oh, precious time placed it's hand on me;
oh, precious time, how it rescued me.
