Things Move On

Time is a movement that we cannot escape It surrounds the Universe in its vastness day by day And with time its particulars are all attached DNA to a drop of rain, it all comes as one big batch Everything changes on a second by second basis From the dinosaur to the bird in the sky, Music from minstrels then onto blur and Oasis Our skin becomes decrepit as we live within our souls We build, we knock down, we start again to help out those in need Builders help build, a life now easy, just ask Nick Knowles But lets think of the future and how we guide Earths ship We live, we learn, already ruined our surrounding layer of ozone Ditch the aerosols, drain the diesel's as one Ice-Age was just a little tip The same as all relationships, hiccups happen as is life A stumble, a small trip, pick yourself up as this is it Another chance ain't gonna happen, believe what you will A sweep up, a quick clean, start again so it is all gone The Gods of time sometimes get bored, lets stir things up There is only so much you can watch until, Things Move On JJB
