Time and Space Wishbone Ash

The river flows so new and clear
But nuclear bombs are something I can't trust
Heaven's stars look so peaceful
But men are still fighting men all around us
And what's your precious life but gift to you?
Who could have put you here in green and blue?
If you're gonna spend your talents before you die
What better place to spend them than time and space?

Peace on Planet Earth
It never was, and how could it ever be?
The king will come so greatly -
Well, everyone says, "I'll believe it when I see"
Everybody wants that perfect love, if they can -
It cannot be found in another woman or a man
If I'm gonna have a good time before I die
What better place to spend it than time and space?

Power is the Kingdom
But is it possessed, or is it given?
To be what you will be in turn;
To love, to hate, kill, or create in living
And now I see that it's all mine to choose
Everything to gain and everything to lose
And if I'm gonna gain or lose it all before I die
What better place than here in time and space?
