[Am]And if you will not let me [Dm]land this airplane,
trust my [Am]intuition then my [E] mission's i[D]n vain.
[C]Why does time keep [G]moving on so q[Am]uickly? [Am][G]
[C]Why can't I dis[G]tinguish dusk from [Am]dawn? [Am][G]
[C]Why does time keep [G]moving on so q[Am]uickly? [Am][G]
[C]Why does time keep [G]moving on?
[Am] [G-F] [Am] [G-F]
[Am]Captain, I have [Dm]come a great long distance
at my [Am]protector's insistence and I [E] will not be de[D]tained.
[Am]Handcuffs cannot restrai[Dm]n my choices.
If we don't [Am]listen to our voices then our [E] mission's in [D]vain.
[C]Why does time keep [G]moving on so [Am]quickly? [Am][G]
