Time

(S. Goebel)

 
Time slips, through my finger tips
Moving slow yet fast
We can’t break free no hope for release
The sand slides through the hour glass, and our lives are but a grain
Across its wake lies a human chain
A human chain
 
Generations link across in time new circles old, old circles new
Sometimes I feel trapped in its wake, is there really enough for all I want to do?
Fighting the clock to live my life generations link across in time
 
My Heart beats as the clock ticks
The sun sets, youth’s well runs dry
Nothing escapes the grasp of time
Potential turns to memory and dust
My being is a flash of life
Wisdom is gained, time is lost
A human chain
 
Generations link across in time new circles old, old circles new
Sometimes I feel trapped in its wake, is there really enough for all I want to do?
Fighting the clock to live my life generations link across in time
