"Borrowed Time" is a single release from Styx's 1979 triple-platinum album "Cornerstone". The song was a collaboration, with lyrics by Dennis DeYoung and music by Tommy Shaw. It features a fast, hard-driving rhythm, and the memorable ending refrain, "Faith be with me now / I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland".

The band opened their concerts with this song, on their 1979-1980 "Grand Decathlon Tour" in support of "Cornerstone". Next, it would serve as the first encore on the band's 1981-1982 "Paradise Theatre" tour.
