take a look behind ya
There's trouble on the rise--you can see it in the eyes 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 feelin' Keep your balance--keep your stride--let it run through the heart of your life Time don't stop--ready or not You've got to give it everything you got Life don't stop--take it to the top... You miss a step feel the anchor drop It all comes back to you... .
