Lyrics
A movie style close up of a calendar in the breeze
The years blowing away, passing time being squeezed
Hindsight and perspective are now ours to claim
A different picture appears in the frame

We owe previous generations unpayable debt
All that they learned is now ours to forget
Tomorrow is built on yesterday
Times arrow flies only one way

We're all flesh and blood time machines
In this great future our past intervenes
Distilled experience fills our reservoir
It's time that makes us everything we are
It's time that makes us everything we are

The castles of yesterday give a wakeup call
Clocks and calendars laugh at us all
In the ruins of the past conclusions are drawn
We're a short time here and a long time gone

Will future generations check the lost and found
Lookin' for something that wasn't passed down
The pages torn from their survival guide
With answers to the questions only history can decide

We're all flesh and blood time machines
In this great future our past intervenes
Distilled experience fills our reservoir
It's time that makes us everything we are
It's time that makes us everything we are
It's time that makes you everything you are
