Time by Pink Floyd

Time is a great song in my opinion. This song represents how time goes by so fast, and not very many people realize that it's slipping away. It really has a good meaning because it kind of makes people sit back and think about what they want to do. You have to live each day to the fullest, because you never know what the next day is going to bring.

This song also says "Waiting for someone or something to show you the way." What Roger was saying when he wrote this song is that you can't wait around for someone else to tell you what to do, you have to do it yourself. I really like this song because it has a good meaning and it makes you think about your choices in life. (:

Time by Pink Floyd
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

The quote you picked out should apply to pretty much everyone graduating this year. Our parents have guided us throughout our whole lives..It's crazy our future is ours now, and we have to decide what to do with it!! lol :P
