Lyrics
The sultan of time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I only had the time, I would visit all my friends.
I would write a book of rhymes, and my song would
never end...
I hear him sing, but he never has the time for me.
I wish that I could set my father free.
I Am- the Sultan, but not from the East. I come from within,
I AM- always in reach.
Come take my hand and well climb,
for I AM - the Sultan of Time.
If I only had the day, I would surely make amends.
If I didnt have to pay all these bills that never end...
I hear her sing, but she never has the time for me.
I wish that I could set my mother free.
I Am- the Sultan, but not from the East. I come from within,
I AM- always in reach.
Come take my hand and well climb,
for I AM - the Sultan of Time.
If I only had an hour, I would tell you how I feel,
But the work gets in the way, theres no time for what is real...
I hear him sing, but he never has the time for me.
I wish that I could set my brother free.
If I only had this moment, I would stop and catch my breath.
I would put away this fear, because it worries me to death...
I hear her sing, but she never has the time for me.
I wish that I could set my sister free.
I Am- the Sultan, but not from the East.
(Nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh,nigh, nigh,
nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh.)
I come from within, I AM- always in reach.
(Nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh,nigh, nigh,
nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh, nigh.)
Come take my hand and well climb,
for I AM - the Sultan of Time.
Time for your sister and time for your dad.
Time for the things
