I Did Time

What did you do inside

I did time

What did you learn inside

Precious time

Every book's a gift of gold

You hang on every word

Every moment in the light

You pray won't be disturbed

Every note of music is completely heard

Who was your friend inside

Passing time

What was your dream inside

The end of time

It's a tomb you lie in

You know you cannot leave

So you learn to look inside to find the love you need

From your loneliness sometimes reprieve

Many loved ones come and go

They say I'm skin and bone

But in their eyes another world is mine to touch and own

That moment passes once more I'm alone

What did you do inside

I did time
