I’m falling
through an hourglass
I’ve no time to think
Like all the others
falling through
it’s now my turn to sink
Closed in
by glass unseen
I thought I was almost free
Dropping down
I hit the ground
my escape, high above me
Smash the glass
and fight the flow
can’t be shut in any more
till I break the mould
I put time on hold
I lose the hour I was born for
Awaiting my turn
taking time to learn
to be forever falling again
as long as I’m bound
I am forever crowned
no more than just a grain

I’m falling
through an hourglass
I’ve no time to think
Like all the others
falling through
it’s now my turn to sink
Closed in
by glass unseen
I thought I was almost free
Dropping down
I hit the ground
my escape, high above me
Smash the glass
and fight the flow
can’t be shut in any more
till I break the mould
I put time on hold
I lose the hour I was born for
Awaiting my turn
taking time to learn
to be forever falling again
as long as I’m bound
I am forever crowned
no more than just a grain
