Alan Parsons Project - Time Lyrics Meaning

My little brother was killed in 1983. He was only 29.....four years older than my oldest grandson is today. Being a Christian, I had hoped that he saw something in the way I lived my life that would point him to explore what God is all about. I felt like I was robbed of the time to see this happen.....like it was all up to me.
I thought so much about this song and wanted to buy it to play at his graveside services, but I realized that maybe my folks would like something more traditional. A few days later when my dad, sister, and I went to pick up his things they included all his records. Tim had an eclectic taste in music and had over 100 albums. We scooped everything up, and later, as we were going through his albums, guess what album was right there? I cried all over again. I cried for days......”maybe for forever”. I had to face the fact that God doesn’t force anyone, but He does give opportunities to make choices all the time. Whatever choices Tim made were between Timmy and God. But in my heart I know Tim would be very happy in Heaven. I play this song often and it does give me hope that it’s only “maybe” forever. RIP little brother. I miss you so much.
In memory of Tim McCutcheon 1954-1983
