Time-Express - Депардье

[Verse 1]

They say, “Don’t dig a hole for another man—you’ll fall inside,”

But I keep walkin’ on, even when the road’s too rough to ride.

Got a smartphone in my pocket, a hundred worries in my head,

But my heart still holds the old man’s words, the ones my granddad said:

“Keep your word, don’t tell a lie, and stand your ground, my son, stand tall.”

[Pre-Chorus]

Time’s flyin’ like an express train runnin’ down the darkened track,

We trade one town for another, but we’re chasin’ truth in every act.

Through screens and signals, through the noise of cities big and wide,

Stayin’ human—that’s the lesson I’m tryin’ hard to hold inside.

[Chorus]

Oh, life ain’t no movie—they don’t give you any second takes,

Every step’s a line in a story that the world forever makes.

They say the world’s gettin’ harder, faster than it’s ever been,

But I believe that kindness still outshines the darkest news we’ve seen.

[Verse 2]

My grandma’d whisper, “Mornin’ wisdom’s worth more than night’s regret,”

Now I remind myself of that when days get heavy and I’m lost in the net.

The newsfeed’s like a stormy sea, my headphones play the beat and bass,

But somewhere deep inside, there’s still a quiet voice that never fades:

“Don’t drift with the current, don’t sell your dreams for somethin’ cheap and fast.”

[Pre-Chorus]

Time’s flyin’ like an express train runnin’ down the darkened track,

We trade one town for another, but we’re chasin’ truth in every act.

Through screens and signals, through the noise of cities big and wide,

Stayin’ human—that’s the lesson I’m tryin’ hard to hold inside.

[Chorus]

Oh, life ain’t no movie—they don’t give you any second takes,

Every step’s a line in a story that the world forever makes.

They say the world’s gettin’ harder, faster than it’s ever been,

But I believe that kindness still outshines the darkest news we’ve seen.

[Bridge]

“A word is silver, silence is gold,” they used to say with care,

But if your heart’s got somethin’ true to tell, you’ve gotta speak it out there.

Amidst the gigabytes and speeds, the voices loud and cold and strange,

The only thing that matters is to keep your own flame from changin’.

[Instrumental Solo]
