Time Flickers By

Time flickers by

Like the speed of light

Not even a second

Will it turn back

Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!

It says

'I'm moving forward

So must you'

Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!

It says again

'I'll never come back

So treasure me

Before I go'

Time flickers by

Some of us

May never have the chance

To do something meaningful

Till' time flickers by

Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!

It says once more

'I'm sorry

If you're left behind

But I must move

So don't waste my time!'
