about

A classic rock song, reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane, that addresses how much life can change in just a few minutes (“In just 8 minutes we will see the light from the sun…In just minutes your world can be undone”), and how the passage of time can seem fast or slow, depending on what’s happening in your life (“Some things happen fast, in the blink of an eye. Others move slow, so we have time to cry”).

lyrics

8 Minutes by Sharon Coates

In just 8 minutes we will see the light from the sun
In just minutes your world can be undone
In just 8 minutes a story can be told
In just minutes a new life is born

Some things happen fast
in the blink of an eye
Others move slow
so we have time to cry

In just 8 minutes the river, it may flood
In just minutes your destiny will come
In 8 minutes ocean tide can turn
In just minutes a memory will burn

Some things happen fast
in the blink of an eye
Others move slow
so we have time to cry
Most things happen
at an ordinary pace
So we keep track of time
and don’t lose our place

In just 8 minutes a bird can learn to fly
In just 8 minutes you can tell a lie
In just 8 minutes a wound can start to heal
In just minutes love can be revealed

Some things happen fast
in the blink of an eye
Others move slow
so we have time to cry
Most things happen
at an ordinary pace
So we keep track of time
and don’t lose our place

So we keep track of time
and don’t lose our place
