Speed of Life - Sandi Thom

Well it seems like only yesterday that I was just a girl

Wondering through life without a car in this old world

I’d climb upon the roof when everybody was asleep

In the stillness of the night I could hear my own heartbeat

I remember when the days seemed like they’d never ever end

And time would take you by the hand and lead you like a friend

But through the years it seemed that life was faster than I thought

And now those lazy days are in the land that time forgot

Cause it’s faster than a rocket

And nobody’s going to stop it

We’re soaring like a bird in flight

And it will never leave you standing

From the take off to the landing

They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life

Nothing is faster than the speed of life

One day I woke and it just hit me like a bullet from a gun

I realized the years I’ve lived can never be undone

And suddenly I didn’t have a single word to say

But I wish that I knew what I now know today

Cause it’s faster than a rocket

And nobody’s going to stop it

We’re soaring like a bird in flight

And it will never leave you standing

From the take off to the landing

They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life

Nothing is faster than the speed of life

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Cause it’s faster than a rocket

And nobody’s going to stop it

We’re soaring like a bird in flight

And it will never leave you standing

From the take off to the landing

They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life

It’s faster than a rocket

And nobody’s going to stop it

We’re soaring like a bird in flight

And it will never leave you standing

From the take off to the landing

They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life

Nothing is faster than the speed of life

Nothing is faster than the speed of life
