(Am7)Tick, tock, tick.

Doot, doot, do, do.

(Am7)Tick, tock, tick.

Doot, doot, do, do.

Time keeps on slip pin’, slip pin’, slip pin’

I wan na fly like an ea gle

to the sea.

Fly like an ea gle, let my (F)spir it car ry (Am7)me.

I want to fly like an ea gle

till I’m free.

Oh, Lord, (D)through the rev o (F)lu tion.

Feed the ba bies

who (D)don’t have e nough to eat.

Shoe the chil dren

I want to fly

Time keeps on slip pin’, slip pin’, slip pin’

Fly like an ea gle, let my (F)spir it car ry (Am7)me.

I want to fly like an ea gle

Tick, tock, tick.

Doot, doot, do, do.

Tick, tock, tick.

Doot, doot, do, do.

Time keeps on slip pin’, slip pin’, slip pin’

in to the fu ture.

Time keeps on slip pin’, slip pin’, slip pin’
