Tick. Tick.


Tick. Tick.

 

Feel the pressure of time.

Whose life is this but mine?

 

Surrounded but all alone

Trying to find my one true home

 

Drifting, wandering, blurring day to day

Speaking with nothing real to say

 

Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders

Feeling the rush of the clock against you

 

You feel like giving up and giving in

No reason to fight; you'll never win

 

                But you must always fight

                It's the struggle to find the light

               

                Focus your vision

                Find your passion

 

                Fight every single day

                It's your future that awaits

 

                                Tick. Tick.

                                Time's running out.

                Tick. Tick.

                Find someone to run with.

 

                Find your tether to this Earth

                Find someone who sees your worth

 

                It's in people where you find connections

                The closest ties are in relations

 

                Blood is thicker than water

                Family is the unit that matters

 

                The ones who will never give up on you

                The ones who will always tell you the truth

               

                We all come from one family, one Father

                One Soul to burn brighter than Fire

               

                                Tick. Tick.

                                Why are we here?

                Tick. Tick.

                Is time to find the answer running out?

 

                Tick.

 

                Tick.

 

                                But the answer is obvious

                                It has always been clear to us

 

                Crystallized now is our purpose, our reason

                Why we are living, why we are breathing

 

                A force that is stronger than gravity,

                The force that binds both you and me

 

                It's the hope we find each and every day

                It's the light in our path to find our Way

 

                                Tick. Tick.

                                It's the beating of your heart.

                                                Your drive, your purpose, your passion, your art.

 

                It's Love we are all searching for.

                It's Love that drives us toward our goal.

 

                It's Love that makes us each Human.

                The beating of our heart that keeps rhythm.

               

                                We may bleed with each beat

                                But Love is what makes us complete

 

Tick. Tick.

Rejoice in the pressure of time.

This is my time to make my life Mine.

 

I will strive through it with crisp intention.

I will fight to find my objective.

 

I am rooted in the soil of the World

I am connected to people around the globe

 

Love is what makes us all tick.

Finding it yourself is the real trick.
