Written 13th May 2000. Vocals: Nicola and Stefanie.

We all started as a baby,

Dependent, needing care.

Love and attention’s what we needed.

And someone who’d always be there.

Then we grew into an infant.

Able to talk and walk and know what’s fair.

Their world’s a new adventure.

They’re learning to give and share and you,

CHORUS

Should now make the best out of your time,

Stay young – never leave your prime,

Do the best you can do,

‘Cause the time of your life ticks in you.

As we turn into teenagers,

The world looks a different way,

Secondary school is where we’ll find out,

How we wanna spend each day and…

This is where our routes may differ,

Some of us leave to find our way,

While others go to college.

It doesn’t matter so long as we’re OK and you,

Should now make the best out of your time,

Stay young – never leave your prime,

Do the best you can do,

‘Cause the time of your life ticks in you.

MIDDLE 8 –

It’s all in you, It’s all in you, It’s all in you, It’s all in you.

Should now make the best out of your time,

Stay young – never leave your prime,

Do the best you can do,

‘Cause the time of your life ticks in you.

So now we’re turning into adults,

Making choices of our own,

We may start to build a family,

Try to deal with whatever’s thrown at us.

And as we see our children grow up,

The whole circle starts again,

And we can look forward to more good times,

Having fun with our family, friends and you…

Should now make the best out of your time,

Stay young – never leave your prime,

Do the best you can do,

‘Cause the time of your life ticks in you.

Oh you,

Should now make the best out of your time,

Stay young – never leave your prime,

Do the best you can do,

‘Cause the time of your life ticks,

The time of your life ticks.

The time of your life ticks in you.
