There's trouble on the rise,
You can see it in the eye's of the livin',
There's an order to defy,
There's a room at the back of your mind.
Word gets out, what's it all about?
Some take it in and some can do without.
Don't hang out in the shadow of a doubt,
It's time you split before they sign you out.
They'll have you sing the blues.
Take a look behind ya,
Take it on the run,
Take a look behind ya,
Look into the risin' sun.
You can dance, you can sing,
But it doesn't mean a thing without rhythm.
You can slip, slide, stumble through the rest of your life,
Time won't stop, never gonna stop ya,
You push the limit 'til the day you drop,
Time don't stop, race against the clock.
You shun the risk, can you stand the shock?
You got a lot to lose.
Take a look behind ya,
Take it on the run,
Take a look behind ya,
Look into the risin' sun.
Take a look behind ya,
Take it as it comes,
Take a look behind ya,
Don't forget the things you done.
You can run, you can hide,
But you never put aside what you're feeling,
Keep your balance, keep your stride,
Let it run through the rest of your life,
Time don't stop, ready or not,
You got to give it everything you've got.
Life don't stop, take it to the top,
You miss a step, feel the anchor drop,
It all comes back to you.
Take a look behind ya,
Take it on the run,
Take a look behind ya,
Look into the risin' sun.
Take a look behind ya,
Take it as it comes,
Take a look behind ya,
Don't forget the things you done.
