David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

All those years I lived my life
and never noticed time,
It passed me by so silently,
And it thinks it’s so sublime.

Regrets lay still within this time,
And gnaw within my own soul,
Then come to life when I feel down
and leave me feeling cold.

Thoughts I never brought to life,
That sleep inside my mind,
As I look back I wish I had
Not left those dreams behind.

Chorus
We worship time because it’s there,
As it never goes away,
Then feel this urge to be effect
And wait for it each day.

My life’s been one of action,
And sadness also too,
Some love and kindness mixed within,
I’m seeing a broader view.

Living in the moment,
Living in the past,
Living in the grasp of loss,
It all moved on so fast.

I find as I look back at things,
I could regret my life,
But that’s because I’ve lived before,
It’s always there, that strife.

Chorus
We worship time because it’s there,
As it never goes away,
Then feel this urge to be effect
And wait for it each day.
______

Living in the moment,
Looking straight ahead,
Excited to create again,
Much better than being dead.

So easy to get stuck in time,
It’s always there to see,
The present is a type of time,
That’s seems the place to be.

This type of time called present,
Is right within my now,
It never moves, it never sleeps,
It never wonders how.

Chorus
We worship time because it’s there,
As it never goes away,
Then feel this urge to be effect
And wait for it each day.
______

It makes a place to live in,
It’s a freedom you will find,
It’s what I call my home for me,
A chance to leave my mind.

It’s never keeps a memory,
Of anything I do,
It doesn’t think in right or wrong,
It’s simply what is true.

That present time is my time,
It’s what I am, just me,
I made it so so long ago,
I needed it to be.

Chorus
We worship time because it’s there,
As it never goes away,
Then feel this urge to be effect
And wait for it each day.
______

I always I tried to share it,
With others that I met,
For a future that was safe and sound,
For a life without regret.

Present time is quiet,
It has no life but yours,
It lives for you and what you want,
And its never heard of war.

It’s hard to just describe it,
It lives outside of time,
It’s just yourself, just who you are,
Just feel your own sublime*.

Chorus
We worship time because it’s there,
As it never goes away,
Then feel this urge to be effect
And wait for it each day.
