I was born at the break of dawning
In the last days
Of the last great war

My father was not
In the fighting
And my mother
Never had to mourn
I was raised, raised
And taught to hurry
I've been hurrying
And worrying all my days

But now as I'm getting older
I think I'm learning
How to run the race
And with you by my side
Your heart close to mine

I've got time

I used to wake up every morning
And lie there far too long
I had no reason for living
Everything I did was wrong
With you, and your faith in me
Oh, how you made
My whole life shine

And I've got time
You, and your faith in me
Little girl
You made my whole life shine
And I've got time
