So much is put on the passing of a second Pressed with the weight of a world Like sand they slip through grasping hands The ever growing pile of a fruitless build We long for control, a sense of being To know who we are, and what we're seeing Counting, keeping track of this and that We're lost in numbers instead of life In fact we can't ever seem to find theΒ Β time But what do we lack? It is not time It's the same thing other creatures do have The ability to live instead of keeping track Never asking for time back Or for more They just are So instead be like a sparrow, or a fox, or a fawn And stop counting the moments from a watch on your arm Don't document life with a series of ticks Take back your freedom You've got a life to live
