Chorus
Right from the beginning
When stars started twinkling
Time's been moving on, slowly moving on
Throughout all the centuries
Throughout all of history
Time's been moving on, slowly moving on
Verse 1
When earth was created
And light first invaded the dark
And became the first day
When the land became fruitful
With plant life and animals
And dinosaurs hunted their prey
Time's been ticking away, ticking away
Verse 2
For thousands of years ancient civilisations
Have come and passed away
Empires have risen and in time have fallen
But through every night, every day
Time's been ticking away, ticking away
Verse 3
From Ice age to Stone Age
To Bronze Age to Iron Age
Time's been ticking away
From Romans to Saxons
Through all generations
Through every night, every day
Time's been ticking away, ticking away
