The  purpose of my mission was to see  the ocean.
 I have not seen  the ocean, I have not  tasted the rain.
And  if you will not let me land  this airplane,
 trust my intuition  then my  mission's in  vain.
Why  does time keep moving  on so quickly?
Why  can't I distinguish  dusk from dawn?
Why  does time keep moving  on so quickly?
Why  does time keep moving  on?
Captain,  I have come  a great long distance
 at my protector's  insistence and I  will not be detained.
Handcuffs  cannot restrain  my choices.
 If we don't listen  to our voices then our  mission's in vain.
Why  does time keep moving  on so quickly?
Why  can't I distinguish  dusk from dawn?
Why  does time keep moving  on so quickly?
Why  does time keep moving on?
 Drum Fill
Why  does time keep moving  on so quickly?
Why  can't I distinguish  dusk from dawn?
Why  does time keep moving  on so quickly?
Why  does time keep moving  on?
