Day to night, night to day.
Seeking to slow it, is there a way?
Fight, fight, fight.
Must get into the light.
Play, study, rest, work, rest.
Leaving your mark, the true final test.
Think, think, think.
Slowly, your ship begins to sink.
Struggle to reach the top.
Hoping your clock won’t stop.
Stay, stay, stay.
If just for one more day.
Punch in, punch out, punch in, punch out.
Head full of worry, mind full of doubt.
Roll, roll, roll.
Time takes its’ evil toll.
Time to reflect, mistakes in the past.
No chance for amends, Time moves too fast.
Seconds, minutes, hours.
No time for the flowers.
Contemplating life, fearful of death.
Time will win, the only sure bet.
Years, decades… a lifetime.
Ever churning on, your clock continues to chime.
Finally… through a child.
Proof… you were here for a while.
No, no, no.
Realizing you’ve lost, it’s Time to go.
Even in death, your legacy begins again.
Fighting once more, knowing Time will win.
