Another fourteen hour day, crisis solved deadline made I came home like always, tired and beat Threw dinner in the microwave Beside it on the counter lay A letter from my wife addressed to me It said I know you're workin' hard that's easy to see Tryin' to provide the best for the kids and me We've had less to work with But we've always worked it out A house and yard, clothes and cars ain't all it's all about
It's about time that you're not givin' Life that you're not livin' Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice That our dreams are slowly fading Are you hearin' what I'm sayin' Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice Cause if we are, you need to realize It's about time
When you were on a business trip, to bad you had to miss Your spittin' image hit the winning run You know he adores you, he was lookin' for you Remember that you promised him you'd come Did you know your little girl lost her front tooth today She put it underneath her pillow And tried to stay awake I laid down beside her, didn't want to sleep alone This is not about not loving can't you see what's goin' on
It's about time that you're not givin' Life that you're not livin' Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice That our dreams are slowly fading Are you hearin' what I'm sayin' Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice Cause if we are, you need to realize It's about time
I walked up the stairs to find three angels sound asleep One by one I tucked 'em in and kissed 'em on the cheek I stood there and thought about how selfish I had been And how one day without 'em Would be more than I could stand And now I understand
It's about time I should be givin' Life I should be livin' Keepin' my focus and let em know I notice That the thing that's most important Is sharing in each moment Heaven knows they're worth the sacrifice It's not too late now, that I realize It's about time
It's not too late now, that I realize It's about time
