From the open field he sees
The place that she can be
Way on down the line
He's not ready to be free
Wondering where it went
Or is it time has spent
Like the turning leaves of fall
The innocence that relents
Ages come and ages go
And the time remains
Like the river flows
Ages come and ages go
Time to know how to grow
String wound too tight
For that big winged kite
Let go the tiny knots
It will soar the heights
The wind it blows her hair
Blows away despair
The task is to grow
You only have to dare
Ages come and ages go
And the time remains
Like the river flows
Ages come and ages go
How to know the time to grow
Let the changes in
Then we can begin
To let the feelings rise
From the precious place they hide
Let the heart and soul
Find the space to grow
In the grace that time will give
From the things that it has stole
Ages come and ages go
And the time remains
Like the river flows
Ages come and ages go
Time to know how to grow
Ages come and ages go
And the time remains
Like the river flows
Ages come and ages go
How to know the time to grow
