Tick tock
Can you hear that clock?
We only have so much time.

Let us not waste our time dwelling on each other’s past mistakes
But on the opportunities to start over and have better memories to make.
You only have so much time.

Tick tock
A constant rhythm
Filled with love, confusion and criticism  

Every minute somebody in the world dies
Let us not waste the time we have
On conceitedness and lies

Don’t let death remind you of what you should have done
Don’t let death be a solution to everything wrong
Sometimes we fall, but we get back up
Time doesn’t stand still, so don’t force yourself stuck

Tick tock
Time on the clock only stops when the batteries have died
When your battery runs out in years, maybe months, or days to come
What are you going to regret and wish you had done?

Time is precious
And I only have so much time.

Let us march with those fallen
Be them soldiers or an average Joe
Every second counts
They only had so much time.

Tick tock
What kind of clock do you got?
Does it just tick in your head
Over and over again?
Do you embrace it or ignore it?
Once a minute has passed
That moment in time is never coming back

So tick tock
Be happy, be wise
Tick tock
We only have so much time.
