Tik tok tik tok,
We look back,
To the people that we've met,
To the places we went,
To the events that touched our soul,
Tik tok tik tok,
As time passes by,
Some travel against the current,
Refusing to let go,
Unwilling to consign them to oblivion,
Hopelessly trying to salvage what was lost,
Reticently denying the future,
Tik tok tik tok,
As the clocks turns forevermore,
We realise that lost times will never come back,
What has been done can never be effaced,
The only thing to do is to be maturely insouciant,
As there is no such thing as a panacea,
Tik tok tik tok,
The voices of future past deafens us,
With every tik of the clock,
It seems to grow rambunctiously,
Thoughts run endlessly,
Of paradise on earth,
That we may or may not achieve in our lifetime.
