The clock just keeps on ticking
Faster now everyday
And it seems there's a constant friction
In what we do and what we say
But you don't get no more chances
So I want to make this one count
Under these circumstances
I got to reach past the doubt
No more wounded spirits
No more wasted time
I don't want to hear it
It's just all a state of mind
Growing up and getting older
You know it's just a part of life
Quit your crying on my shoulder
You got to spread your wings to fly
Nobody's gonna hand it to you
You got to do it for yourself
I think it's too early for you
To put your wings on the shelf
No more wounded spirits
No more wasted time
I don't want to hear it
It's just all a state of mind
