Time is a poignant singer songwriter, pop track about a conversation with time, in the hopes that we figure things out before it runs out. It is a duet between Filipino artist, Mary Oz, and Daniel and the Sparrows from Chicago. The song is also written by both and produced by Daniel. With the ticking of the clock, it starts out as an intimate question and plea. The song builds up, along with production, into more pressing questions, ultimately reaches a climax but then drops back into poignant realization with an intimate quesiton to end it. It is about finding what matters, finding who we are and finding how to love.

Verse 1
Time, will you stand still?
Coz' I need a minute or two
Will you please slow it down?
Verse 2
Time, please say you will
Coz' I doubt if I can catch you
Will you please wait around?
Will you wait around?
Chorus:
Stop counting years
Start living in the hours
Stop counting tears
Find courage in the scars
ur eternity's not written in the stars
It’s in the here and now
We find out who we are
Verse 3
In Time, what's in your hand?
Why does everything you touch
Turn to sand?
Verse 4
And time, are you running out?
I see these wrinkles
They're not marred
They're beautiful
Make 'em beautiful
Chorus:
Stop counting years
Start living in the hours
Stop counting tears
Find courage in the scars
Our eternity's not written in the stars
It's in the here and now
We find out who we are
In Time
In Time
Our eternity's not written in the stars
It's in the here and now
We find out who we are
Verse 5
In Time, am I too late?
I got a bag full of love
I need to give away
Verse 6
And Time, what will it bring?
If I don't put love into motion
Will it be worth a thing?
Will it change anything?
