DC Talk - Time Is... Lyrics
(It's, it's too short, it's too short)
(I have lots of time)
(They say time waits for no man)
(All the time)
(Wasted time, wasted time)
(This'll just take a little time)
(Time out!)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
(Tick tock!)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tickin'
Here we go again
Straight up rock-n-roll
Don't forget
Let's go
Here we go, everybody
Let's go
Here we go, everybody
Let's go
Here we go, everybody
Let's go, check it out
You got a gift and you best start using it
Cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it
Just like the brother who buried it deep
The task was simple but the price was steep
We got a mission while we're on this earth
We need to tell people 'bout our second birth
Get busy like a school boy makin' an "A"
Cause time my brother is tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tickity-tickity-tickity-tock)
Right now is the time that we gotta get with it
The gift that He's given ain't just an exhibit
But a tool that He's given us to use for His sake
And just as He's given He can surely take
The signs of the times are dropping like flies
The cries of the people around us imply
They're lookin' for an answer that we already know
But time is definitely on the go
All the money in the world (all the time)
Can never stop the hands of time
And a wasted day in your life (all the time)
Is more than a crime
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tickity-tickity-tickity-tock)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin' (tickin' on and on and on)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin' (Now break it down)
You got a gift and you best start using it
Cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it
Get busy like a school boy makin' an "A"
Cause time my brother is tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
(Is this the last hurrah?)
Time is tickin', it keeps on tickin'
Time is tickin' away [6x]
Time is...
(Whoa, wait a minute...)

DC Talk Time Is... Comments
Michael Sweet in backvocals
oh i forgot about this song brings back memories i saw them in concert when was a teen
Currently getting distracted on social media and then this song comes on.
I realize I have work to do.
Always listen to DC talk when studying XD
Christians are so cute :)
Ahhh totally remenicient of my youth
Tik Tok..... uh oh
Is still true
Now more than ever!
Love the song
Jealousy equals satan
God is love devil is to destroy jealousy yea are u I wonder
I saw these guys at the Fox in Atlanta around 94 or 95. One of the best concerts I've been to in my life period.
LOVE!😍👍
'When i was little i used to think the lyrics were " Tom is digging away" XD
Love this song!
Anyone know who speaks at 3:33 ?
I'm going with William Dozier.
I came here for Geordi, but then remembered that I already knew this band. The production actually holds up for being from '92.
dcTalk is timeless! :)
2016 woohoo!
These lyrics are still true! WAKE UP PEOPLE - JESUS IS COMING SOON !!!!
Tick tick tic...
Rebecca Respect2Glory That's what I call it tick toc tick toc
Jesus is amazing 💕
I have been watching events unfold and this song came to mind.
This takes me way back to being at Christian youth group and camps back in the 90's!...great times...lyrics are still so relevant...
T Moore I know what ya mean. Christian camps. And D.C. Talk. That was my jam back in the 90s
I started singing this in pe yesterday.
This reminds me of the 4 week MTI ministry trip to Mexico years ago. The students must have played this 10 times a day for the 4 week trip.
I loved when they had this energy!! So unique, people can say what they want, but I really miss this
I always noticed :>
Can u put up that kinda girl
Lol oops my bad haha
Really? "OMG" on a Christian band song page? :P Hee hee
So I was reading the thankyous for the Free At Last album about a year ago, and realized "Hey, that's Michael Sweet doing background vocals for this song!" Which of course just made me love it all the more.
Who else noticed Geordi LaForge at the end? :D
OMG! Same here my dad had a VW and we use to play DC talk all the time
i had on cd too , back then got it from an uncle hehhe Good Times
FINALLY FOUND IT!!!
Haven't heard this song in about 12 years.. Today it popped into my head for some reason. Perhaps because I have wasted so much time.
I'm all for generosity but "dumb stuff" is too generous to describe it.
As in just about every case, though, there're exceptions. TobyMac and TFK are really awesome and still running strong! FM Static, too!
good point. old music does sound better.
wuz here lol
Maaannn....9-10 yrs! Good old music. Ok before u guys think I'm some old person reminiscing, I'm only 13, but I still prefer this music to most of the dumb stuff we have today
i have the Jesus freak video tape of the concert.i watch it 5times a week just to hear this music.its quite calming
I love this song and the message! This is an old fav of mine from a cassette my son had while I was "Mr. Mom" to my kids back in the early '90s... so sez Reverand Barry Willie Black ... Time is tickin' away!
Really shows that Kevin can rock!
@FelicianoCookie dont forget Rhythm and News
@AniRemi I know what you mean! dc Talk was one of the groups my brother and I would listen to as he took me with him in his car and just today I was idling in my car blasting the cd "Intermission".
I was listening to my brother's copy of "Intermission" and was disappointed that they did not have this song! I miss the good old days in youth group where dc Talk and Newsboys were rocking our stereo. Great song!
@JesusFreak77753 Yeah good ol' Toby hasn't changed a bit...and that's why we all still love him! :)
oh my goodness!!!! i havent heard this song in like 7 years, i cant believe this. sooo many memories. :)
You know, it's funny when you look at Michael Tate back then, and then take a look at him now. Back then he was this buff, awesome dancing guy with a great voice. Now, he still has a great voice, but as for his physical description...I'd be kind of scared to run into him in a dark alley if you ask me! 0_0
*** One of my favorates!!
this was like favorite song on the cd..
classic
we danced this lst year in our school.....and lst christmas..we want to see to all people that they should worship GOD like we read to the lyrics of this song time is ticking away mean while we have time we should worship and praise GOD.....time is running...when i first listen this song i felt that its rapture so i should always got o church.....but until now i realize that even we didn't listen some songs we should go to church always.......
this is epic me and my brothers used to go crazy listing to this.
my fav dc talk song
oh man when this song came out a billion years ago, it was just the greatest song ever as far as I was concerned
wow tobymac was in dctalk at one time
TITA had to be my favorite song, they had great guitar riffs, in the beginning here and the riff in Walls is awesome
A favorate from a few years back...love it!!
i used to dance to this song in my living room back when i was in diapers lol
Saw them in concert several times, and people would always say stuff like, "you went to see *who*? Who's that?" Then you'd start playing it and they weren't really sure what to say. "Oh! So they're *CHRISTIAN*? Um, they're like cool, I guess, but like did you know they're *Christians*?" as if I was supposed to slap my forehead and say something like, "Oh you're right. My bad. Didn't know what I was thinking..."
Ha! This brings back memories of hitting rewind on the tape player in my little VW, flying up and down the mountain backroads at night on my way home from youth group...taking the long way so I could sing along out loud without anyone hearing. :-) Thanks for posting!
wow I cant believe its been so long since this song!! LOL when i was like 12...still love every bit of it!!! thank God for people like DC Talk
Very 'timely' message...should be rereleasrd, in my opinion. Love this sound!!
They won't. Because the illuminati Gospel industry is controling them. Fake songs for real money . Not real songs about unity love and change .
I really like this song wish it had a normal video
"Signs of the times are droppin' like flies..." we should be about our Father's business!!
