[Intro]
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tock, tock

[Chorus]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
[Verse 1 - Maxine]
It seems forever, since time began
So full of mysteries we don't understand
Searching for answers and remedies
As problems plague us like an enemy
[Pre-Chorus - Terry]
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop? Nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on
[Chorus]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
[Verse 2 - Maxine]
So many blinded by life today
When will we realize love's the only way?
It's time to wake up
'Cause times have changed
Time waits for no one
It's a crucial game
[Pre-Chorus - Terry]
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop? Nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on
[Chorus]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
[Verse 3 - Maxine]
Take care of business, don't procrastinate
We must decide on what becomes our fate
Nation to nation, love is the key
Let's take the time we need more unity
[Pre-Chorus - Terry]
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop? Nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on
[Chorus]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
[Bridge]
