Verse 1

I have walked the road so weary

and have traveled far and wide

Seen the great Lion roar

And the fragile Hummingbird drift by

I have seen great meadows blanketed in fragrant flowers

I have been buried beneath the crest of a mountain

And seen the land below the ground

And has looked out upon a thousand ocean sunsets so red and so vibrant

 

Pre-Chorus

I will share with you my story if you so desire

It's nothing to expensive

It's only a small small price

 not of coin or dollar

hard done work or wasted years

Nor tears fallen from the eyes of the angels

All i desire All i need is your time

 

Chorus

All i want is your time 

Could you lend an ear to my story

Could you sit and listen to my dear heart's cry

I have been everywhere all on my own

 it is all i desire

All i need all i want is a moment of your life

So you can hear a moment of mine

 

Verse 2

I have walked the mountain roads

and traversed the lowly valleys

I have heard the angels singing on a night, dark and bold

And I have heard the wolfs desolate cries to the moon

I have found comfort in a cave that held no light

I found peace with the bear cubs and slept in the arms of the great wide oak

And in the desert have worn the soles off my shoes

 

Chorus

All i want is your time 

Could you lend an ear to my story

Could you sit and listen to my heart's cry

I have been everywhere it is all I desire

All i need all i want is a moment of your life

So you can hear a moment of mine

 

Bridge

Would you be daring enough to sail the seas and concor hills

And would you like to roam all the lands with me

Just to show you my story is my plea

Could you just open your heart 

And look through your soul 

For all i desire is to share the beauty of this world

And open the door for everyone to know

 

Ending

Time 

All i want is some of your time

I know it's running shallow

As the ground grows colder

Time 

All i ask of you is time

Just an ear to lend just a simple listener

That is all i ask for

That is all my heart desires

Time just time

all there has ever been 

And all that ever will

Forever stuck ever moving onwards

Never can look behind

The only constant 

In a word ever changing

Once I share my story I may finally go in peace

So long gardens 

Goodbye wild things

Tell the road i loved her

Tell the sky not to cry

Tell the ocean that i will be alright

That I will be alright


The author's comments:

I wrote this song as a reminder that anymore nobody takes the time to listen to the stories of the past. Time does not slow down and it will not stop. People wait untill it's too late to ask questions about someone's life. So next time you get the chance ask someone about their life.
