I have this watch I wear
That gives the time of day
It also gives the time at night
Because the face illuminates

One thing that it doesn't
That I wish it would
Is remind me of the time
That I should spend with you

You see I get so busy Lord
I barely have time to think
Living this life day to day
As if it were on the brink

If I continue at this pace
I'm not sure that I'll survive
Is this what they meant when I heard them say
This is the time of your life

So I took the battery out of my watch
To remind me every hour of every day
To stop what it is I'm doing
And take the time to knell and pray
