Analysis of I will not waste time
I will not waste time
but make good use of my time
to the peak of the mountain
will I climb
for negativity will not
profit you a dime
so make hay
when there's sun shine
stand tall and act fine
blessing to he who says
wisdom is mine
like the ant who gathers
it food in a due season
so will I take
council and reason
for sometimes life moves too quick
sometimes too slow
sometimes life treat us so cruelly
sometimes too right
sometimes I feel under
may be it all over
but sometimes I feel stronger
life has a lot to offer
so I will not waste time
but make good use of my time
