"all we got is precious time"

January 9, 2011 3:09 PM

Searching for a song I hear on the play list at my work. Even with out the title of the song or the artist's name I can usually work my Google magic and find anything in less than a few minutes but this one is elusive.

We have one of those DMX players at my work but there is no display screen to indicate what song is playing. Once in a while we receive a PDF play list but problem is there are between 400 and 800 songs per list and many of the songs are covers. I believe the song I am looking for is an original but without the artist or title of the song I am lost.

The vocalist is male and the song is sort of reggae-ish...

sadly this is the best description I can come up with.

The lyrics I can remember

"wake up in the morning dew\ open up your eyes\ sunshine\ ain't no easy way out so stop wasting your time"...

chorus: "all we got is precious time\all we got is precious time\ all we got is precious time\ all we got is this precious time..."
