Tick Tock

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.
