Paroles de Time is a book

If I could go back a hundred years or more Back to the ages I adore I put myself on a sailing boat Sailing the seas, carrying my load Put into ports of every new found land The crew drops the anchor on my command down the boats, and we go ashore But too bad, I know this can't happen anymore Time is a book, a book of glory and in a book of stories you can't turn the page back anymore If I could go back a hundred years or more Back to the ages I adore I'd become an inventor to discover new things I'd find out flying with my own wings I'd find out light and the electric train and I'd find out how to make it rain Yes, I should find out all those things Although sometimes I was wrong But I'd never find out a gun or a bomb
