As the day goes on
Minute by minute
Second by second
Time ticks on
Things happen
People forget
Pain is caused
You hurt the ones you love
The ones who love you
Begin to drift away
Day by day
Minute by minute
Second by second
Time ticks on
We laugh
We play
We forgive
We forget
As time goes on
We force ourselves to see the good
To see the little things
Things that aren’t actually there
Day by day
Minute by minute
Second by second
Time ticks on
We believe the lies
We see the stereo types
We want them to be real
We imagine life the way the world say it should be
Imagine ourselves as the person we should be
Not who we are
Day by day
Minute by minute
Second by second
Time ticks on
We forget
We lose sight
We don’t look back and realize
The real importance of life
The reason we are here today
The pain caused so that we can become who we should be
Perfect in our own way
Different for a reason
Different families
Different lives
Different stories
Day after day
Minute after minute
Second after second
Time ticks on
Step out
Don’t be afraid
Be yourself
Be proud
Be who god has created you to be
Tell your story
And let it go
Take time into your own hands
