This is no time for fumbling
This is no time for turning down
Seems like it's no time for wandering
All too much, we stumble and fall – we stumble and fall –
This is no time for mumbling
This is no time for forgetting your lines
This is no time for tumbling
All too much, we stumble and fall – we stumble and fall –

This is no time for dreaming
When you sleep, you wake to find
That something or someone
Has stolen your precious time
As you start to climb

This is no time to go missing
Though it is the time I'd like to most
This is no time to go fishing
All too soon it will be us getting caught
As we stumble and fall
