Your time starts now
Without a question
Without a clue
Your response will attest
To suggestion's power, so strong
And growing stronger
With self-belief
You've pulled through but you belong here no longer
Fly by night, it's over; day by day it's done
Was it simply oversight that's left you overcome?
While you've been distracted -
Playfully, no doubt -
Your time's been running out
Your time starts now
And that's the poser
You're going to need
All the help you can get
For the ride's nearly over
All that information
All that warp and weft...
For all your patient fortitude you're patently bereft
Of clue, of hint, of notion
Of answers, even vague
You're ploughing forward nonetheless
As though by simple doggedness
The far side'll see you saved
Your time starts now
And yes, you'd best begin it
However long
You've held back
You've demurred
Get on track, pace by pace
Just go on
Just go further...
