When the Clock Stops Ticking
What will we see?
When the clock stops ticking
Will birds still sing and live on the tallest trees?
Will life around still move foward?
When the clock stops ticking
"Time is cruel,"
"Time is our enemy,"
We waste time, we take time for granted
We let time get the best of us
We blame time, when we should be thanking
time
We are able to witness day and night
To live another day, all thanks to time
It takes time to grow, time to live
Time gives us what we need
To be us
So when the clock stops ticking
don't shake your fist at time
takes its hand and shake it
"Thank you, Time, for all the time you gave me,"
When the clock stops ticking
It's our time
