Lyrics

Time goes by, don’t you see it fly?
Live your life from the better line
Theres always now, so now, so you better run away
It’s in your hands and not the hands of fate

So make you move
The force to loose
Time phase, time phase, time phase
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya...

Find your heart and free your mind
Let’s Cele-b-r-a-t-e
If time goes by, just hit rewind
Let’s Cele-b-r-a-t-e

Time goes on and on,
And time goes on and on
The time to take (yeah)
The time to make (oh, oh)

Stop time to a future past
Hold on, you can get there fast
The moment is now, the moment is new
Today you make your dreams come true

So take your time now
Or time will take you

Find your heart and free your mind
Let’s Cele-b-r-a-t-e
If time goes by, just hit rewind
Let’s Cele-b-r-a-t-e

Soon you’ll see the things you’ve done
Let’s Cele-b-r-a-t-e
Yes, today’s the day and tomorrow’s won
Let’s Cele-b-r-a-t-e

Time goes on and on,
And time goes on and on...

Backwards Message

Towards the end of the song, there is a repeated nonsense passage, indicative of backmasking. When the song is reversed, the phrase "Yo! Detour!" can be heard. The phrase also appears forwards roughly halfway through the song.
