When something's given precedence,

     It’s time that you must make.

When you need to do your very best,

      It’s time that you must take.

 

When you’re doing nothing special

      You could say it’s time you waste.

You can do so many things with it,

     But time you cannot taste.

 

When you're really very busy,

      You speak of time you use.

If you mess around and waste it,

     Look at the time you lose.

 

Time might resemble money 

    For we speak of time we spend.

It’s something we can’t give away

    And certainly can’t lend.

 

'Tempo’s' time in melody

     When, in time, you clap your hands.

You can’t eat time but can beat it

     If you’re leader of the band.

 

Time’s a gift that’s freely given;

    When used, can’t be replaced,

So use your time quite prudently.

    Don’t let it go to waste.
