And one day it will come
It will stop you right in your tracks
Arrest your heart
Leave you breathless
As desperation moves into your blood
You will feel like a child
Who has been deprived of laughter and
Cheated out of Ferris wheel rides
That day will come
When you feel like
Inescapable space between a
Suicidal Mack truck driver
And an industrial concrete wall
That day…
That day is the very day
You realize that you spent
More time calculating risk
Waiting for a better time
The day that failing and
Moving on becomes more attractive
Than fear of failing
That day…
Would be the day
That you are no longer exempt
From the age that has crept in
When you reckon
That time is a priceless
Commodity in a nasty
Affair with limitations
And I…
I will be gone
I won’t be found by you
Because I…
Have lived that day
And I…
Will be cutting the Ferris wheel line
While I have the time
